I wonder how much of these GOP votes are going against the GOP.

Im guessing they dont have a way to capture independents or non affiliated.

of heavy GOP early voting were coming out of districts that are heavily GOP anyway. So it's not as big a deal as they're trying to make it seem.

We early voted in Gwinnett (Suwanee) last Saturday afternoon. It was a steady stream, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. I was surprised how young the crowd looked.

I may even move there, so I hope it becomes a blue county soon. I can’t move away from the red states, so if a red state turns blue, that’s even better!

My immediate neighbors where I have a home are as red as they come.
I hope the south sees blue on the 6th! I will be in an intense training course on that day, but I have early voted since day one. Can’t wait to see the blue on the election maps. Will sign on DU as soon as I can that evening to check the progress.
