Today is just the third day of early in person voting and it's already at ~20% of the entire 2020 vote (both early and on election day)

Make sure to get out and vote!

1 million early is huge when you realize the 2020 numbers:

Biden - 2,473,633
Trump - 2,461,854

1 million in just 3 days of early voting. And that's including today which is still ongoing

I did mine

We made a serious error in judgement today... My wife volunteered to deliver 250 election flyers for the local Democratic party.

So I was like "Cool, I'll drive and do security."

We got about, I dunno, 15 houses in and she's like "I can't do this by myself!"

Fine, I didn't volunteer, but I have an electric wheelchair, I'll help.

2 apartment complexes later and we are WIPED.

I think maybe we hit 50 or 60 out of 250? We're just destroyed. LOL.

Why does anybody wait for the final day?

They increasingly don't, but the tradition was really baked in until covid.

I do because early voting is across town whereas I can walk up the street to vote on election day.

A lot of states require you to have "reasons" to vote early and apply for it, so all you can do is wait for election day.

I recently learned Alabama doesn’t have early voting.
