(7,447 posts)which means no, they don't count the mail in vote first...but they may well count the early vote first.

I do think this is about the same number nationally, and states like ohio will release the mail vote first, which will have Biden substantially ahead until the election day vote is counted.

(15,525 posts)Why do most Republicans prefer to vote in-person on Election Day, while most Democrats prefer to vote early and/or by mail? What makes the people in one Party prefer one over the other?
I'm an exception, a liberal Democrat who only votes in person, and my friends look at me like I have 9 heads.

(15,525 posts)But I remember all the posts here long before Covid in years past, saying things like "Yay, early voting has started!" It's always been more loved by us and they have always soured on it, I'm just trying to figure out why.

(31,261 posts)Trump leading by only 8 points among the no mail-in group should be a concern. If people take time to understand how to properly do their mail-in ballots and get them back in early, Joe should develop a lead that overwhelms Trump.

(31,261 posts)We can compliment the 23% for having a conscience, or we can focus on how can we possibly live in a society where 62% of republicans simply have no morals at all.
