(172,086 posts)And considering that 2020 was a Presidential election year, that is significant. I will hedge to say that 2020 was the first year using no-excuse mail ballots so people were just getting adjusted to it. Now what you see are those who have settled on using them but we do know that not EVERY Democrat does mail ballots. It seems that it has been about an equal amount of (D)s who do "mail ballots" and voting "in person". For example from 2020 here in Philly (the breakdown of mail vs in person is in the image) -

So there can still be that last minute push to get procrastinators to the polls on election day (although many don't trust the mail and the drop boxes are not always convenient, so they prefer to vote "in person" - one of my sisters is one of those types).
One might note that here in PA, gubernatorial race years tend to have a higher turnout normally but not as much as a Presidential, so if people can even match or exceed 2020, that would be fantastic.
