Saw similar stats in WI. There isn't going to be some Red Wave on day of voting in most of these swing states, Reps voted early too.

This is good news and I still think it's really hard to quantify what smaller lines in the cities because of early voting will mean, but it's definitely a big advantage to Dems. Democrats lose perhaps millions of votes due to long lines in the cities every election.
