The fact that 800,000 have cast early ballots in and of itself doesn't mean that Democrats are voting in record numbers. Indeed, given that the the outcome of the primaries for the Democratic nominees for Governor and Senator are foregone conclusions while the repub primary for governor is drawing a lot of attention, I expect repub turnout will be much heavier than Democratic turnout in the primary.

Maybe, but I think it's a small number. Primary voting is always much lower than general. Hoyt May 2022 #14
