If GOP turnout comes in disastrously low on Election Day, Donald Trump will deserve a lot of credit for accidentally suppressing his own party’s vote
Mail it in. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Donald Trump has spent much of the past year discouraging his supporters from voting by mail. The president has warned that mail-in ballots carry a “tremendous potential for voter fraud,” and that they often get “dumped in rivers” before they’re ever counted.
Two weeks before Election Day, there is another flare-up of the virus — both nationally and across key swing states — and a historic number of Democrats have already mailed in their ballots. In NBC News’ tally, Democrats’ early-vote advantage is being felt in the key swing states of Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
But by banking so many of their core voters early, Democrats have already secured a meaningful tactical advantage. In some states, the party’s operatives have been able to shift their focus away from mobilizing their party’s reliable voters to seeking out infrequent ones.
