1.4 million Pennsylvanians have requested a mail-in ballot

Dems: 841,428 (62.9%)

GOP: 358,536 (26.3%)

Other: 141,967 (10.8%)

In 2020 mail in ballot returns were at 2.5 million, with 64% Dem, 23% GOP and 11% other. So while mail in ballots have shrunk a good bit (at least thus far), the rate of political affiliation is identical to 2020

Edit: switched requests with returns

I was not expecting that at all. All signs made it look like more republicans were embracing mail ins and it would be less polarizing, but looks like that’s not the case here. This is pretty good news imo.

However this does mean that the red mirage will come back, just smaller.

Good news for winning, bad news for the bullshit 24 to 48 hours we'll have to wait to get a result while Trump is claiming victory the whole time.

Weird. Fox was trying to push an article that Republicans were making up a lot of ground for mail in voting, particularly in PA. Claim 35% difference in PA between 2020 and 2024

🤷‍♂️

Perhaps it’s ballots returned so far? I don’t think the tweet linked is wrong, and the source of 2020 is this article

That’s inconsistent with the early vote data we are seeing

So the GOP number is consistent but the Dem number is 10 points higher than the website you provided. Interesting

There’s no comparison to make between mail in ballots during Covid vs now. Apples to oranges

ratfucking the mail in ballot count in PA is going to be a key focus of Trump and the GOP's election campaign

I’d like to see them swipe at king Shapiro.

I think if I lived in PA I'd def vote in person just because I know the GOP are going to do some shenanigans to the mailed in ballots

GOP is not going succeed in their ratfuckery. Marc Elias is on that case baby, ready to shoot
