Quote for the Day:

This was an extraordinary level of participation, some in person and some by mail, and much of it appeared to be driven by Democratic enthusiasm. In states that reported partisan breakdowns, participation by registered Democrats far outpaced that of registered Republicans. This bore out anecdotally, too. In media interviews, many voters said they cast ballots early because they were determined to seize their first possible opportunity to repudiate Trump.
