Not a good sign for Dems if early voting is trailing 2018 numbers.

@Moved East
For one, I believe some mail-in ballots may still be accepted, meaning the existing numbers for this election may not be final. Second, 2018 was a good year for Democrats, so even if 2022 numbers are a little lower (and not a lot lower), that’s not necessarily so bad.

For two weeks, unless Mike Bost wins his lawsuit.

2018 was a blowout year for IL Dems.

“Turnout by Age Group”
How do the polling groups know the age of the voter?
It is no one’s business to know my age when I vote.

“It is no one’s business to know my age when I vote.”
So you can magically tell if someone is 17 instead of 18 by staring at them?

==that’s not necessarily so bad==
It will be interesting to see if more Republicans this time participated in early voting than in 2018. Anecdotally, a lot more Republicans noted early in person and by mail this time.

@Wheaton
I’m struggling to find it but I swear Rich posted something about how Dem Voters were double the number of Republicans who requested vote by mail ballots.
Comment by ItsMillerTime Tuesday, Nov 8, 22 @ 12:37 pm
Republicans will get closer in statewide elections, but no cigar. The state is sold Democrat.
However, there may be some impact for Republicans such as in the 17th Congressional district, which is only marginally Democrat.

—It is no one’s business to know my age when I vote.–
That’s literally one of 5 things required to vote…..being at least 18.

People should own their ages. It’s internalized ageism when we deny our ages.

DOB is public information. It’s literally the government’s job to certify it.
