I have done numbers porn on the early votes. I am a terrible person.
Who wants to see?
Caveats: I did not add the 10% voters to the opponent’s total. Mostly because I forgot to at the start so never bothered to update. I admit, I am somewhat lazy.
Further, I did not bother to check any state reg numbers or when it started.
That's it! I only did states that 1. had numbers to report, and 2. weren't so in the bag that it was impossible to lose.
Oh and it is 90% party's vote to the party's candidate, Indies split 40/60 or 45/55.
So @blankslate2017 posted some tracking numbers for AZ. Here be the math, same caveats.

Few people in the media talk about this by the way.
The Republicans for 4 Democratic presidential terms abused their investigatory power against the Democratic presidents for purely partisan gain. And the media yelled at the Dems anytime they pointed this out.
The media's nonstop treatment of Republican behavior as legitimate and Democratic behavior as not is really weird considering how often Republicans are caught breaking the law.
This President is insanely corrupt and his behavior is *spreading* but the US press is like "you shouldn't be investigating him Democratically controlled House!"
In December 1992, the Washington Post (the one that always gets better scoops than the NYTimes even if the NYTimes does a better job at laying out the facts) published a story about a powerful junior Senator who was touching women wrong.
This Senator was also known as a stanch ally to the women. He spearheaded major feminist priorities. He also voted against Clarence Thomas. Dianne Feinstein even supported him!
His name was Robert Packwood. A Republican from Oregon who resigned in disgrace after 19 women came forward with credible allegations of sexual harassment and the Senate Ethics Committee chaired by #MoscowMitch voted to expel him.
Let's talk about how a certain Senator's, who is grasping at relevance, fanboys react to a Black woman pointing out she has the receipts.
Because they put her in danger today.
Senator Sanders has long been known to have not simply rabid fans but violent ones.
From an attack on Representative Jim McDermott for the mere fact he supported Clinton over Sanders: q13fox-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/q13fox.com…
*logs on to discuss the incredibly asinine appellate brief by Cheato's lawyers*
Oooh boy, this was bad. I mean it was so bad I had to wash my computer to clean the stank.
Let's get started! First off, the Constitution gives Congress super duper broad powers to do whatever the fuck they want as long as there is some kind of legislative purpose that could result from this.
Including checking if the President committed crimes.
Here's something fun. While a President can be *impeached for being convicted of a crime* it does not say that a dude who committed crimes that we all know he committed despite the statute of limitations having run out can't be Prez.
LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and still won in a landslide. But he knew he was giving an opening to the Republicans.
Who looked at 1966 results in reaction to the CRA and thought "hmm."
It broke up the Solid South. (Ye Olde Blue Wall that FDR had made a deal with the devil to keep.) We lost the Arkansas and Florida gubernatorial elections and 47 seats in the House.
