While a Blue Mirage may sound like a cocktail one might have by the pool, the Donald Trump campaign warns that its actually driving voter suppression.
To be clear: Kamala Harriss campaign and their allies in the fake news media are already spreading misinformation about the state of play as part of a coordinated and intentional voter suppression effort against President Trumps supporters, says data consultant Tim Saler.
He adds that early Democrat leads in absentee and vote by mail are not at all predictive of victory on November 5th and may, in fact, be indicating a major failure to meet the enormous margins that they delivered in the 2020 election.
The argument here is that Democrats are simply delivering guaranteed votes early, in other words, with an operation Republicans historically havent matched, but that is all for nothing anyway.
Ballots will go out imminently in North Carolina, marking the start of pre-Election Day voting in the battleground states. Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 2:1 in requested absentee ballots in 2020. In 2020, President Trump carried North Carolina despite a 421,912 ballot deficit in absentee by-mail votes, Saler claims.

IMO, states should withhold numbers until the initial canvas is complete, but of course, the public and news media wouldn't stand for that. As it is, differences in demographics voting early and late -- and being counted early and late -- always result is shifts that deniers can point to as "something wrong."
