Summary

Over 100 million Americans voted early. Every bit of data suggests that Democrats crushed early voting. And my educated guess is that Trump needed a landslide of voters to show up for him today and I'm just not seeing it right now. Let's hope that logic holds out.

Democratic candidates in congressional races, Senate races, state legislative races,

district attorneys races.

So that's going to break in a lot of ways that really matters.

2:03.1

It's going to help on ballot initiatives.
