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.
Yes, but there still needs to be a good amount of time for people to move on from Trump and support what comes next. For example, I see the next Trump being far more brutal - they’ll view TACO’ing out as a sign of weakness, and seek to correct Trump’s mistakes by murdering everyone who won’t bend the knee.
Take the whole E Jean Carroll thing, for instance. Right now, it’s all tied up in court. The next Trump, I predict, would opt to have some people disappear E Jean Carroll. Maybe shoot some of the judges who ruled against the next Trump, too. And then, the replacement judge will rule that the next Trump did nothing wrong while a heavily armed trooper holds a gun to the judge’s head.
Pretty sure that’s what we have to look forward to in the next few decades.
