CALLING IT: MIlwaukee 95% in. It gave Dems a 31K margin in 2016. Tonight, it's 63K. And Im not seeing offsetting GOP margins in other counties other than Dane or Milwaukee.
Karofsky by 20-30K.

95.MILLION.VOTES
Even though (with all the AM updates available) we're up to 94,995,317, Florida has EASILY voted 4,683 people this morning - probably even in one county.
EARLY VOTING HISTORY (10/9 VERSION):
Just so Election Twitter can realize how much has changed in the last 7/14 days. Still waiting on any kind of data from Arizona and Nebraska.
GETTING CLOSE TO 100M
8 states left, and we're up to 98.74M
CA CT HI KY MA NH NY WA are left in terms of updates.
Plus any additional updates from FL and CO that'll come in later.
CALLING IT A DAY.
95M requests (+514K) (44-26% Dem/Rep)
77.1M votes (+3.9M) (46-33% Dem/Rep)
Before tomorrow morning's "Olympic tweetstorm", I'll be getting updates from CA, GA, LA, MT, NC, TX, and VA.
FLORIDA HAS BEEN UPDATED (11/2)
9.07M TOTAL (39.1-37.9% Dem/Rep)
4.73M Mail (45-31% Dem/Rep)
4.33M In Person (45-32% Rep/Dem)
This means 96.9% of the 2016 vote is in for FL
RIP
Congressman Elect Luke Letlow (besides being someone I've worked with/for since 2014, when he was Ralph Abraham's campaign manager) was truly a good man. This is terrible.
GETTING CLOSE TO 100M

All I need is 77K from each state....wasn't that the amount by which Trump was elected Pres from the "blue wall" states ? That number seems eerily familiar.
EV SO FAR:
94.2M mail requests (+1.2M)
71.1M voted (+3.9M)
That's before (1) the FL update which Im about to do, (2) updates tomorrow morning for GA/LA/NC/VA
FLORIDA OFFICIAL EV NUMBERS
In other words, what the FL SOS posts every AM :)
2,172,931
41.2% Rep, 39.8% Dem
In 2020, it was 4,173,923 and 45-34% Dem/Rep.
PRELIMINARY NATIONAL EV NUMBERS:
As I wait for AM updates from multiple states (GA, NC, LA, TX, VA and maybe NY come to mind), here's where we stand right now:
(1) 91.6M mail ballot requests (+952K) (45-26% Dem/Rep)
(2) 59.3M votes (+2.1M) (48-31% Dem/Rep)
PENNSYLVANIA PARTY REGISTRATION CHANGES
For the first time since November 2021, Democrats actually GAINED voters. Also this past month, Independents out registered Republicans (who for the first time since last August lost voters).
EARLY VOTING, THEN AND NOW (2020 v 2022)
The TURNOUT is not really the relevant number. The Dem/Rep SPREAD is. I'll leave it at that, and post the comparison :)
101.MILLION.VOTERS
Thanks to
@horvick
for the "heads up" about OR poasting its new vote totals. Those 200K new votes that put it over 100% and nationally to 101M.
CALLING IT A DAY.
96.96M requests (+296K) (44-26% Dem/Rep)
93.35M votes (+2.9M) (44-34% Dem/Rep)
Before tomorrow morning's "Olympic tweetstorm", I'll be getting updates from LA, MT, NC, and VA (if I'm lucky, CA and NV). and incorporating them in.
CALLING IT A NIGHT.
Because the CA update won't happen while I'm keeping an eye out for it (watched pot laws in effect here)
99,719,397 is where we stand.
PENNSYLVANIA CALL
McCormick's lead steadily evaporating from 7 to 2K. And I in several counties saw a 9 point spread for Oz with EDay votes
OZ WINS PRIMARY
OKLAHOMA (59% IN): 51% are voting in Republican primary (62% did in 2014). Current estimate is Democratic turnout up 109%, Republican turnout up 32% over 2014 primary.

Biden 80.2M (+11.4M since 11/3) (51.1%)
Trump 73.93M (+7.77M since 11/3 (47.1%)
TOTAL 157.02M (+19.68M since 11/3)
ABOUT THOSE BAD BALLOTS IN NORTH CAROLINA:
(As of 9/12/2020 AM)
Whites: 98% accepted, 2% rejected
Asians: 97-3%
Two/More Races: 96%-4%
Other: 93-7%
Blacks: 92-8%
American Indian: 87-13%
Most common reason for rejection: "witness information incomplete"
GEORGIA EARLY VOTING
181,643 total EV
46-38% black/white (NOT a typo)
This lawsuit over weekend early voting was a MAJOR strategic error by Republicans, but let's see to what extent they can catch up, now that ALL counties can vote starting today.
Accepted ballots (cumulative):
(1) White 73%, black 18%, 9% other
(2) Dem 58%, Rep 13%, Other 29%
Rejected ballots (cumulative):
(1) White 44%, black 45%, 11% other
(2) Dem 66%, Rep 12%, Other 22%

WISCONSIN ELECTION CERTIFICATION
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has posted official results.
(1) Overall 2 party turnout up 20% relative to 2018. Dem turnout -7%, Rep turnout +52%
(2) In 2018, the primary electorate was 56-44% Dem/Rep. This year, it's 58-42% Rep/Dem.
ADVICE FOR THOSE REPS UPSET ABOUT ALASKA
Here in the Gret Stet of Looziana, we have the "jungle primary", which is a more indirect version of RCV. It requires candidates (successful ones, anyway) to think in terms of how to get to 51% of the vote. And voters love it.
64.MILLION.VOTES
Now Im up to Pennsylvania. Here are my missing updates (thanks to
@AdamBassWCCS
for the MA update !)
Illinois - no updates since Friday
Kentucky - no updates for several days
POST ROE TURNOUT ANALYSIS
Corrected
Has the Supreme Court ruling caused Democratic turnout to spike ? Let's see what the data says:
(1) 12 states (including Hawaii) have held primaries since late June
(2) In 2018 in those states, 11.35M voted (54-46% D/R)

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO TUESDAY NIGHT TURNOUT
Just to give a different perspective from what's being reported ;)
5 STATES: Turnout +4% (Dem -7%, GOP +17%)
KANSAS: Turnout +56% (Dem +81%, GOP +44%)
OTHER 4 STATES: Turnout +1% (Dem -11%, GOP +14%)
65.MILLION.VOTES
Technically, Im up to 64.907M, but I am in the midst of FL, and so far, there's 300K new votes. Here's where Im missing new data
HI
ID
IL
MD In Person (maybe not until tomorrow ?)
MS
NV
NY
TN
WV In Person
NORTH CAROLINA
First day in person early votes in. Bad news for Republicans:
(MAIL CUME): 556K, 50-18% Dem/Rep
(IN PERSON): 333K, 48-27% Dem/Rep
In other words, I'd have expected the in person voters to either be 50/50 Dem/Rep or with a GOP edge.

STATE OF THE HOUSE, XIII
(1) Reps up 217-205 (adding in those AHEAD makes it a 221-214 Republican House)
(2) 13 undecided seats (Dems lead in 9, Reps in 4)
(3) The AP called CA 41/45 for Ken Calvert and Michelle Steele (Rep incumbents)
