Mail-in Voting Bodes Ill for Republicans
One hundred fifty-nine million people voted
in the 2020 presidential election.
According to the United States Elections Project, in that election,
101 million people voted early
in some way—35.8 million people voted early in person, and 65.6 million cast mail-in ballots.
As of November 23, 2020, there were 26.6 million absentee ballots that were still outstanding.
Across the country, the percentage of mail-in votes cast broke in favor of Democrats in 2020 by huge margins.
For example,
in Georgia Biden got 65 percent of the absentee votes
to 34 percent for Trump.
In Pennsylvania Biden received 76 percent of the absentee votes
to 23 percent for Trump.
15.4 million, or 87 percent of the votes cast in California, were cast somewhere other than a traditional polling place, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Biden defeated Trump in California by over five million votes.
