national poll found that 56% of Republicans said they would vote in person on Election Day, compared with just 26% among Democrats. The poll indicated that Democrats are more than twice as likely than Republicans to vote by absentee ballot or mail.
A few days later, Trump told supporters in North Carolina who had called into a telephone rally that “you can request absentee ballots right now. Absentee ballots are great." “They typically are more conservative which means they like to be careful in how they vote,” Wamp emphasized.
