Young American's astonishing low voting participation in early votes

34. No sense damning the youth vote until we see what turnout is like on E-day

Pre-Covid, a sizable chunk of the youth vote reportedly came from in-person voting on Election Day. I suspect this weekend there will be a load of organizers on the ground whipping the weeds for votes. Our top vote and inspiration getter, President Obama, has been across the country firing up the electorate in the way only he can. The press, of course, has defined this as Dems 'fearing a drubbing'. But could it be that Dem operatives smell blood in the water?

The Democratic lead in the early vote is very encouraging. Nationally at the moment, we're going into Tuesday with a 3.5 million vote lead. In Pennsylvania, where thus far 1 million votes have been cast, Dems hold a 500,000+ lead.

No one has a crystal ball on the outcome. But for a party left for dead 10 short months ago, we're in a different landscape.

Fired up and ready to go!
