As the 2020 general election countdown rapidly approaches the 100 day mark on Sunday, pandemic conditions continue to sweep the nation, forcing many Americans to reassess their approach to voting practices ahead of November, as available data seems to indicate that Democrats are leaning into mail voting
The aftermath of a hectic and unprecedented primary season -- one that largely forced election officials to factor health concerns into how elections were administered -- played a major factor in the apparent shift, and led to more voters requesting to cast their ballots by mail than ever before.
While there is a nuanced difference between the two phrases, voting experts agree that in practice, both terms are essentially two ways of referring to the action involving a person voting away from physical polling places. “I would say to the president, if you're trying to ensure that the Republicans maintain the Senate, and maybe have an outside shot of winning the House -- you're suggesting to the Republican officeholders and challengers that they abandon a tried and true, safe and secure method of balloting,” Ridge warned.
Bishop’s home state does not register voters by party preference or affiliation, so the Wisconsin Election Commission does not provide a party breakdown of absentee ballot requests. “Usually the Republicans have had an advantage on mail ballot requests, or have been very close. The numbers have been inching up for Democrats requesting mail ballots overtime in Florida,” McDonald said.
Given the uncertainty of the evolution of the pandemic, this year’s political past could be a prologue for the general election.
