This Newsweek article echos an earlier post by me this morning. I think two things may be in play. First, women are motivated to get to the polls, and we know that Kamala Harris has a sizable margin with the female voter. Second, the ground game may be working for the Democrats, and the Republican ground game may be ineffective. It certainly does not appear that low propensity male voters are coming out to vote early or cast an absentee ballot. If that's the case, good luck trying to get low propensity voting men to stand in line for two hours or more on election day.

Women are outpacing men in casting ballots nationally and in all seven battleground states, according to NBC News' tracker of early ballot returns. Of the more than 58 million mail-in and early in-person votes that have been cast nationally, 54 percent were cast by women and 44 percent by men.
In the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina, there is at least a 10-point gap between men and women in the early vote. The gender gap was widest in Pennsylvania as of 2 a.m. ET on Thursday, with women accounting for about 56 percent of the early vote, and men for about 43 percent

But on their own Newsweek is mostly clickbait now.

(73,959 posts)this is a trend visible from outer space. i wonder what % of votes will already b in the bag by tues.
they have almost no gotv. we have an army. a well funded, well fed army. and w so many of our voters voting early, it will b that much more effective.
imho, the only question is- how big of a landslide is this gonna b?
also- will her inauguration crowd b bigger than obamas?
