Election Day is still a month away, but more than 700,000 Americans have already voted across at least 30 states. There are signs emerging of the advantage Democrats have in motivating their voters – a trend that’s played out in polling all summer long.

In several states with key Senate or governor races this fall, Democrats make up a larger share of voters requesting ballots so far than they did at this point in 2024.

In Iowa, Democrats have made 67% of ballot requests, up from 54% at this point in 2024. In Pennsylvania, it’s 66%, up from 62%, and in Maine it’s 57%, up from 53%. And according to data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, 42% of ballot requests are from Democrats, up from 36% at this point two years ago.

    Pretend this is propaganda designed to make you over-confidently stay home and not vote-

    AND GO VOTE.

    Lives depend on it.

      I honestly don’t understand why people would even have the attitude of don’t bother voting when things are looking good. In Canada’s last federal election, I was told everyone was voting Liberal so we wouldn’t have a Trump supporter be prime minister and I said, hell yeah then, I’m gonna go vote liberal and make sure the plan works. I’m legit confused when “democrats are winning” is taken to mean “don’t bother voting”. And the the exact opposite is also taken as “don’t bother voting”.
