From 2020 official data:

https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/PA.html

In 2020, PA voters requested 3.1M ballots.

In 2024, PA voters requested 2.2M ballots.

In 2020, PA DEMS returned 1.7M ballots

As of today in 2024, DEMS returned 972,000 ballots

In 2020, REPS returned 623,000 ballots

As of today in 2024, REPS returned 571,000 ballots

To summarize, over a million FEWER ballots were requested in 2024 than 2020.

REPS have almost met their 2020 totals and DEMS are short 800k ballots.

Of course, 2020 was a unique election because of COVID. But it appears turnout will be DOWN from 2020.

Take a look... tell me what YOU think.

*DEMS had a 1.1M ballot firewall in 2020.

"in-person early" no data to repeat until polls close Tues? WarGamer Nov 2 #10

I believe that's because technically all early voting is done by mail ballot. W_HAMILTON Nov 3 #12

I didn't realize early in-person voting is like in-person absentee voting. Beartracks Nov 3 #18

It all depends on the state. W_HAMILTON Nov 3 #19
