Reports in Fairfax county that turnout is lagging today. No lines, no steady stream of voter.
This is not good news for Harris. She needs to run up the numbers here to offset the Trump votes in the south and west. |
Yeah, these posters who keep saying Asian Americans are overwhelmingly voting trump never seem to come up with any citation for this. |
Fairfax County had a massive turnout for early voting. |
Show us? |
^^ also - they hit this % around noon last year so seems like turnout is tracking far higher this year. Hopefully this bodes well for Harris. |
Fixed "last year" to "2020" |
We all already voted. I didn’t want the creepy “election watcher” white guy in a suit staring at me when I was voting again. |
When you say they hit this amount, did you mean in person or early/absentee? I just checked total turnout in 2020 and it was like 79% in 2020, which means they need to hit 27-28% to match 2020 total turnout. |
Making me nervous nonetheless, since turnout was about 80% in 2020, and we're almost 30 points behind that, with 10 hours of voting left. |
Fairfax county is not hitting the 2020 early/absentee numbers. Concerning for Harris campaign. |
not really since it was COVID and early/absentee voting was encouraged. |
Unless we have another global pandemic, we're likely never hitting those numbers again. |
That shouldn't be surprising because it's not a pandemic year. In 2020, 405.8K absentee ballots were cast, of which 79% went for Biden/Harris. That's 53.3% of the total votes cast before election day. They're only close to that figure as of 9 am so we'll have to see how the rest of the day plays out in terms of in person ballots cast. I'd be shocked that the Feds in Fairfax wouldn't be turning out in force for Harris though. |
Tim Kaine's appearance on SNL suggests the race is tight and he needed a boost. |
