Early Vote update: over 4.5 million people have already voted. As reports come in from additional states later today, we’ll probably approach 5 million. McDonald’s Election Project has breakdowns per state, and for states that report such data: info on party split, gender, age and ethnicity.

I appreciate your cairn showing us the path of early vote each day.

As of 1:30pm, the count is just a hair below 4.7 million. Stephen is right about PA.

These updates include no updates from PA since Friday morning due to the holiday weekend & that ALL votes before Election Day are mail-in ballots.

Honestly, maybe I missed something due to the hurricanes but I hadn't seen any coverage of a holiday here

That explains why the traffic was not too bad.

Columbus/Indigenous Peoples' Day. From what I understand, this is the last day off for elections workers in PA until every vote is counted. Starting tomorrow, Allegheny County (Pittsburgh & suburbs), for instance, will have at least one satellite voting and/or ballot drop off location open every day EXCEPT Friday (10/18). I know Philadelphia & the Philly Suburban counties are doing similar or larger satellite location operations.

Based on my canvassing yesterday, we should expect a ton of mail in ballots to be returned in PA this week.

I just saw a Delaware County press release from 10/4 (two Fridays ago) announcing that they just sent out their 54k requested ballots plus their ballot drop boxes open 8am tomorrow morning. My best bud from college told me that he & his parents received their ballots in Washington County Saturday. We're going to see huge updates from Delaware & Erie counties for sure this week. I also expect requests to skyrocket as well as the deadline nears.

Tomorrow's update is going to be the biggest one yet, for sure. And that will be just the beginning.
