#earlyvote evening update 10/21: at least 6.6 million people have voted in the 2022 general election 🥳
rpubs.com/ElectProject/e…
Georgia recorded 140,166 in-person early votes on Friday. There will likely be an upward revision by a few thousand more in the coming days
Friday was the highest day yet for in-person voting in Georgia. Voting interest is running high and not diminishing
A programming note: fewer states provide updates over the weekend. The pace is going to slack off a bit until Monday. I still expect we'll pass 7 million #earlyvote over the weekend

The Washington, DC Board of Elections provides evidence of how deluded people are about "mules" using mail ballot return drop boxes. Of the 19,538 mail ballots returned so far in DC, only 5,323 (27.2%) have been returned via a drop box dcboe.org/Elections/2022…
Drop boxes are arguably *more* secure than mail boxes in that voters return ballots directly to election officials without the post office serving as a middleman
Imagine being so deluded that you camp out with a gun to videotape people returning ballots to a drop box (which in Arizona is under video surveillance by election officials and live streamed), while you ignore the mail box just around the corner

Where are the Georgia early vote statistics?

Georgia runs a batch job to pull data from their servers every day, starting ~8pm. For some reason this process is very very slow, and as the number of votes increases, so does the file size, and the time to generate the file
It's a hopefully good sign the file is taking so long to generate today. Let's hope that means lots of voters were added to the file, and not a bug that required restarting the data pull
I honestly don't know why it takes to long to generate the file. My computer can crank through the entire Georgia voter file in a matter of seconds, not hours

#earlyvote evening update 10/17: at least 2.3 million people have voted in the 2022 general election 🥳

This update welcomes Idaho and West Virginia to the tracker courtesy of @DubickiRyan of the Associated Press. I hope to onboard CT and MS this evening (also courtesy of Ryan), and build out more statistics for Georgia's in-person early voting
For now, ignore the total voted demographic statistics on the Georgia page since I haven't incorporated the in-person early voting yet

PSA: If you or someone you know will cast a mail ballot, please follow all the directions! Having a mail ballot rejected is the most common way people disenfranchise themselves. In 2020, election officials rejected over half a million mail ballots for some deficiency
States vary quite a bit on what is required for casting a mail ballot. If you have recently moved from one state to another, be extra careful!
The most common mistake people make is with their signature. Make sure you signed everywhere you need to. Sometimes a signature is required on an inner privacy envelope (not all states require these). Sometimes you must sign on the outer return envelope

#earlyvote update 10/2: at least 107,508 people have voted in the 2022 general election
rpubs.com/ElectProject/e…
Added Montana to this update, and you'll now see links to pages for each reporting state
I know RPubs is not the greatest interface. You'll want to click the "hide toolbars" in the lower righthand side to dismiss the annoying toolbars. I plan to look at hosting options for 2022. GitHub works (what I used in 2020), but it is slow and cumbersome to update content
