Census.gov, April 2021: In the 2020 election, 69% of voters nationwide cast their ballot nontraditionally — by mail and/or before Election Day...By comparison, about 40% of voters cast their ballots by mail and/or prior to Election Day in 2016.


Rocktivity, DU November 2020:



With a combination of overall higher turnout (despite the voter suppression attacks); most of Biden's votes being cast early or by mail; and only about just one third of the votes actually being cast on Election Day, maybe there just weren't enough blue in-person machine votes to flip.
