Ok, so I did a deep dive in to the early vote data from @TargetSmart. Disclaimer: I didn't collect this data - I'm just analyzing it.

My big takeaway compared to this point in 2016:
- Turnout from voters under 30 is up 77% in Benton Co., up 48% in Washington Co.

I made a couple of visualizations. This one shows % increase for youth turnout for counties with an increase, sorted from most to least:

Next is Under 30 turnout with a side-by-side comparison of 2016 vs. 2020. I pre-selected Washington, Benton, and Pulaski counties just for fun.

Here's the raw with 2016 vs. 2020:
Benton: 4647 8226
Washington: 8167 9666
Pulaski: 5635 8309

This viz shows % increase/decrease in turnout for voters of all ages up to this point. Some of the county data is off. For example, I took off White Co cuz its 2016 data was clearly wrong. Again, I'm just analyzing the available data, not collecting it.

Here's the side-by-side of 2016 vs. 2020 for all voters up to this point in the election cycle.

I pre-selected Benton, Wash, and Pulaski, but you can change it whatever.

2016 vs. 2020:
Benton: 48,779 72,565
Wash: 36,491 53,354
Pulaski: 67,861 93,420
