Up until this weekend, the Democratic victory narrative has been this: Dems will outperform in early and mail in voting.

Republicans, leerier to mail-in voting, will opt for in person voting and will outperform on election day. However, in the end, the in-person voting will not be enough to overcome the massive early voting numbers by the Democrats.
This weekend that narrative shattered in some key states. It’s absolute panic.
Politico’s lead story today contains this revealing quote about many anxiety-ridden memos in Democratic offices:
“Democrats are poring over early vote totals, circulating anxiety-ridden campaign memos and bracing for a long two weeks.”
Michigan is chief among the Democrats’ worries. With 25% of the total vote in, compared to 2016, Republicans have a slim advantage heading into Election Day. It’s expected a rush of ballots from Republicans, leerier of mail voting, will be cast in-person on Nov. 3.
Michigan – Republicans have the early lead among early & mail-in voting:

With about 25% of the total Michigan votes in, Republicans outpace Democrats 40.2% to 38.3%.”
Each of the battleground states are shown here with their early voting thus far. D’s who were supposed to do all the early voting because they don’t want to go to the polls on Election Day are behind in many of the states in actual early voting. R’s are ahead. Panic is setting in.
Go to the article and read it. It’s pretty revealing.

This is definitely the year that the “Silent Majority” has to step up to the plate. Looking good so far.

Everything I’ve read in the last week shows Trump winning. Enthusiasm, Dems attending his rallies, blacks turning to Trump, Latinos turning for trump, and the silent majority who won’t talk to pollsters nor signal their vote. I think Dems have very good reason to be in a panic. Just stay safe out there, Lauren. But vote!

Being nervous is ok. But know that (as I told Lauren, everything I’ve read in the last week shows Trump winning. From registering more voters than Dems in blue states like PA, sheer enthusiasm, Dems attending Trump rallies! (sometimes 26% are Dem!), blacks and Latinos turning to Trump, as well as the silent majority that will not answer pollsters nor signal to anyone their vote. I have become one. We’re not safe anymore.
Be more confident, CW!
