That understates the political shift caused by early voting, because nearly all those pre-election votes by Dems are new votes that would not happen on Election Day. Those early Dem votes are the result of driving and manipulating union workers and others to vote when they'd rather not, and to induce them to vote all-Dem when they might not otherwise. They probably are not sure the ballot is secret, and may fear losing their job if they voted early for the [[GOP]]. | That understates the political shift caused by early voting, because nearly all those pre-election votes by Dems are new votes that would not happen on Election Day.
