Just reading elsewhere from a smart source (@nevbear1 at Threads) that number of Republicans who will vote for Harris - "crossover" voters will hit a record high (and have seen some forecasts that 9% of GOP will not vote for Trump).

IF that's the case, I'm less worried that the GOP has "closed the gap" on early voting. And I think that lessens their election day turnout. Still a vote is still a vote, regardless of when it's cast.

Thoughts?

I hope so - who's got the data on that @Tom Bonier?

Probably not as nobody will know until the votes are actually tallied. But there has been some polling: https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-winning-republicans-pennsylvania-1970137

a 12% republican defection rate in PA?

This is what I’m thinking - the Rs think all those votes are for T, and a certain percentage are Rs for Harris. I also think that number could be in double digits, and the other/unaffiliated mostly break for Harris. The magics in the margins.

I notice that early voting statistics report party affiliation but doesn’t asterisk this with the fact that you cannot tell how someone voted - they may have voted against there party affiliation
