First, thanks to all you weirdos checking out the site. Hopefully the new AWS backend is working and it won't freeze up like it did at a couple points last year. 
Second, a couple hundred of you have found the new page I launched last night. It looks at a few daily demographic statistics (for in-person voting only) and compares them to 2018 and 2020. Right now it's just gender, White/Black, and 65-Plus.

It's a weird electorate so far. We're basically seeing 2020 volumes, with 2020 racial demographics, but 2018 age demographics.
In other words, LOTS of old folks.

Now, one reason we could be seeing this is that a lot of these older voters voted by mail in 2020.
493,000 people over the age of 65 voted by mail in 2020, and only 141,000 folks in that age group have requested a mail ballot this time around.

The data point is that young voter turnout is up over 2018, but down compared to 2020's general and runoff.
We've seen 25,764 voters under 40 so far. In previous years that number was:
2018 - 15,609
2020 - 49,157
2021 - 54,217
