In previous cycles, Democrats have dominated early in-person voting and vote-by-mail, and Republicans have dominated in-person voting on the day of the election.  Experts had expected to see the same pattern manifest this time around, but in many of the most important states that simply is not happening.  In fact, as you will see below, there are quite a few swing states where Republicans have actually cast more votes than Democrats have.  Needless to say, this is very bad news for Kamala Harris.

Let's start in Florida.  When early in-person voting and vote-by-mail are combined, Republicans have a lead of more than 18,000 votes so far…

Republicans outnumbered Democrats in Florida in terms of early in-person voting and vote-by-mail combined as of Monday night.

At around 9:02 p.m. Eastern, Republicans led Democrats by 18,147 votes in terms of both early person voting and vote-by-mail combined.

When evaluating in-person early voting alone, Republicans lead by 93,210 votes, while Democrats edge out Republicans by 75,101 votes with vote-by-mail, specifically.

Regardless, at this point, Republicans have the overall edge.

This isn't supposed to happen.

During these early stages, Democrats are supposed to be casting more votes than Republicans virtually everywhere in the entire country.

So this is big news.

Even more importantly, Republicans are currently outvoting Democrats in the critical swing state of Georgia…

In Georgia, 49 percent of all early votes have come from Republicans, while 46 percent have come from Democrats.

We don't know who these people are voting for, but these early numbers do give us an indication of which party is doing better at getting out the vote.
