    wtf? are these data random generated? they don’t make sense.

    there is 40% of republicans in 62 millions casted votes (so roughly 25 million) and suddenly 30% in the 63 million (roughly 19 million?) requested ballots?

    either i am missing something, or these data are so imprecise that trying to analyse them is a fools errand.

      About half the states allow same-day voter registration, so there may be people who voted but did not specifically request mail in/early voting, and those who did request but have not cast their vote yet. So, for many states you could be in one set but not the other.

        ok, thank you. still - the fact there is such variance in the results means you shouldn’t really try to draw any conclusions from it.
