Analysis: What the 2022 early vote data says about Democrats’ prospects
But analyzing these numbers to discern which party is better positioned is always a fraught exercise. And that’s even more the case now.
The main reason is that we’ve seen a sea change in how Americans view various types of voting. While Donald Trump has spent years baselessly impugning our election system, after the 2020 election he , which swung several states against him late in the vote count. He and allies also went after the ballot drop boxes that many states use for early voting.A consequence of that is that Republicans will increasingly distrust those methods of voting and forgo them. They might still feel comfortable showing up to vote early in person, in states where that’s a robust option.
The second reason is that voting rules change. One state we haven’t mentioned is Pennsylvania, whose GOP legislature in 2019 signed off on a large expansion in mail-in voting rights. That means we can’t really compare the early vote now to 2018. Several other states also overhauled their voting laws after 2020; many of the changes were instituted by Republicans.
We also might be seeing disparate shifts depending on where the elections are being held. The U.S. Elections Project’s Michael McDonaldhe sees early turnout rising particularly in states with very competitive races. That could hearten Democrats, but it might be a problem when it comes to House races held in states like California, with no big-ticket race to drive Democratic turnout.
