5.6 Million early vote ballots already cast

OH and NC are the only competitive states that can start counting absentee ballots before election day. If Biden wins those states, or even if it's close, he's likely done it.

I've also read that Florida will be called late on the 3rd or early on the 4th.

I thought for a long time, like many others, that Barr and the RNC will throw everything at the wall after Nov 3, no matter the margins. Now I'm wondering. Republicans and even Barr seem slightly less lap-dogish recently. I think they MAY see the writing on the wall that Trump will likely be solidly defeated.

It's a bummer that MI and PA can't, because I have a gut feeling that Trump will carry OH. Which change the whole narrative of the night if he carries the first real battleground state.

This is very true, but NO actual NEWS outlets (including the news division of FOX) will be making risky projections this year. So Trump can tweet whatever he wants but the people are used to him being full of shit.

And we all know that if he isn’t on a a ventilator, he’ll be tweeting all that day that he’s already won.

I wonder how many of the battleground states have GOP legislatures and SoS to gum up the absentee vote count.

Arlington has already exceeded the last elections mail in votes.

So those mail in ballots returned in double-stuffed envelopes — are those being opened and fed to a counting machine now?

Most battleground states have Democratic Secretaries of State, including AZ, PA, MI, MN, NC, WI. FL, GA, IA and OH have Rs. List here:

And FL and OH are the scary ones.

Cause if Joe takes those, its over. And they know that.

This shows how it's done by state. Notably, Maryland is out of date now though (ballots were able to be counted starting Oct 1 this was updated recently). I don't know if any others are.

I'm the pp who asked which states were counting when--thank you for the info being shared! I am in PA and planning to vote in person, after requesting a mail-in ballot, for fear that there will be shenanigans involving our mail-in votes. Those envelopes cannot be opened until election day and it's not clear to me when/how counting them really starts. That said, it's heartening to know that not every state is like this.

But what about the ballots found in the dumpster?

I am concerned that there will be some foul play.
