17 states changed the way they vote because of Covid fears. Universal mail-in, absentee, curing ballots, deadlines, harvesting ballots. Only 9 rolled things back. Dems adapted. GOP did not. Here’s PA mail-in ballots:
Dems retained nearly half of the mail-in volume they had from 2020. GOP dropped 60%. Fetterman has 1.7 million vote for him on Election Day, Oz had 2.2 million pull the lever for him in person. It’s a numbers game.
Compare that to Nevada where things went back to normal, GOP topped its 2018 numbers and Laxalt has a chance to win.
