Election Day is still a month away, but more than 700,000 Americans have already voted across at least 30 states. There are signs emerging of the advantage Democrats have in motivating their voters – a trend that’s played out in polling all summer long.

In several states with key Senate or governor races this fall, Democrats make up a larger share of voters requesting ballots so far than they did at this point in 2024.

In Iowa, Democrats have made 67% of ballot requests, up from 54% at this point in 2024. In Pennsylvania, it’s 66%, up from 62%, and in Maine it’s 57%, up from 53%. And according to data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, 42% of ballot requests are from Democrats, up from 36% at this point two years ago.

    I sure hope so. Colorado ballots get mailed out starting tomorrow…I’ll be watching for mine, but if I hear about any hitches, I will be finding out what the next steps are.

      I love that in Colorado, I get a text message when a ballot has been mailed to me, one when I drop off a ballot, and one when it’s been counted. Best system I’m the US.

      Of course I’ll be paying attention to each step closely, looking for options, in case.
