Early voting is surging in several key battleground states, giving Democrats hope that their strength in midterm polling could translate into a turnout advantage in November.
In North Carolina, more than 1.2 million early ballots have been accepted, a 37 percent increase from the same point leading up to the 2022 midterms, according to an analysis released Friday by Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer.
That growth — which includes both in-person and mail-in ballots — has been driven by a 47 percent increase among registered Democrats and a 60 percent increase in participation among unaffiliated voters. Early voting among Republicans is up 2.6 percent.
Similar patterns are emerging elsewhere, with high turnout especially pronounced in historically Republican-leaning states with competitive Senate races this cycle.

My concern is what the end result is going to be. I feel team pedo is going to claim a victory and carry on no matter what the result is in real life.
The second bit is the part this American is white knuckling. I don’t see any situation where there isn’t some sort of electoral fuckery the result isn’t nearly as important as the reaction to the result at this juncture
