Have Americans finally awakened? Early voting suggests yes
Have ordinary Americans finally awakened to the
anti-American plans of the Democratic Party?
For the past few weeks early voting data from a variety of states has begun to suggest a major shift in what have been the traditional voting patterns for decades. In the past, Democrats routinely dominating early mail-in voting, while Republicans instead went to the polls on election day.
This election season is seeing an almost Earth-shattering change.
- Nevada: For the first time ever in a presidential election, Republicans lead in the early voting
- North Carolina: Republicans now lead for the first time ever in early voting turnout, showing a significant increase from 2020 and 2022
- Virginia: Republicans are ahead in casting early ballots
Nor are these three states outliers. A look at a nationwide map of early voting shows that Republicans also lead in Georgia and Arizona. Though the overall numbers nationwide show a Democrat-Republican split of 46% to 36%, the number of early votes from Republicans this election is far higher than in the past.
Though caution must be exercised, and we must recognize that these numbers do not guarantee a win for Donald Trump, what the data suggests however is an amazing newfound voting enthusiasm among Republicans. For decades many Republicans simply didn’t vote, and their lack of interest was often the reason Democrats would win local, state, and national elections. The surge in the past decade of radical school boards and leftist district attorneys, all Democrats, illustrates this. While Democrats paid attention and got their candidates into these lower offices, Republicans both in the party and in the general public would sit on their hands. The party would offer no serious challengers, and the voters wouldn’t come out to vote even if it did.
The early voting numbers in these states suggest that this indifferent attitude among Republicans has changed. Not only has the party upped its game in these local elections, putting forth viable and aggressive new candidates, Republican voters appear to be paying attention and most important, appear to be voting.
This conclusion is further reinforced by other data. For example, for only the second time since Reagan was president, more voters identify with the GOP than with the Democratic Party. In several states voter registration counts have either flipped from Democratic to Republican or are moving strongly to the Republicans.
The data suggests once again that Americans are finally recognizing the anti-American nature of the Democratic Party, as indicated by the words of Brian Lozenski, chosen by vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz when he was Minnesota governor to run the “Ethnic Studies” curriculum in all of that state’s schools.
The first tenet of critical race theory is that the United States is irreversibly racist. So if the nation as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done with. It must be overthrown. … You can’t be a critical race theorist and be pro-US. It is an anti-state theory that says the U.S. needs to be deconstructed, period. … And that’s why I’m a critical race theorist. [emphasis mine]
This is the Democratic Party today. Sadly, it has been the Democratic Party since the days of Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, for almost three decades it has been impossible to convince Americans of this fact. The turnout this election cycle so far however suggests Americans have finally awakened to this reality.
Will this turn-out make a difference in the final election results? It remains hard to say. Recent polls show a decided trend in favor of Donald Trump. However, these trends mean nothing. In the end, the election will likely come down to the Democratic Party strongholds in cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Phoenix, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. In those locations it appeared in 2020 that the Democrats used their dominance in these local urban election districts to manufacture as many votes as needed to win the presidential election in those states. Even though the polls now show Trump ahead in every single one of those states, these polls will mean nothing in the end.
Have Americans finally decided to end their
circular firing squad and vote the bums out?
And what if the alleged vote tampering in 2020 turns out to be a one-time event, and the Democrats find it impossible to do the same amount of hanky-panky in 2024 because too many people are watching, the nation is no longer going bonkers over a respiratory virus, and the public is generally very unenthusiastic over the Democratic Party candidate for president?
Then what will matter will be the actual and final vote counts. And until we have these real numbers after election day we won’t know what is happening. Just because more Republicans are voting early now does not yet prove that more Republicans are actually voting. We might discover that these new early votes are simply the same Republicans who in the past voted on election day, with no major change in the totals.
While the news in the past few weeks has suggested the possibility of a Trump victory, combined with victories across the board in the Senate and House, we must not get cocky, as Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit likes to say.
If you haven’t voted, do it, either by mail or on election day. Don’t get lazy. Your very way of life now depends on it.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

THEIR VERSION OF “DEMOCRACY”
“Today’s Democrats: Are like a person with no teeth that tells you you are not allowed to eat steak. You according to them must eat like you also do not have teeth. “But I want to eat steak!”
https://www.sigma3ioc.com/post/their-version-of-democracy
Conservative commentators have been very actively pushing their listeners to utilize early voting options.
I am concerned that any lead the Republican candidates are experiencing through early voting may be largely a result of this push. I hope that I am incorrect, and that more voters have finally come to understand how damaging the Democrats and their policies are to the nation.
I also agree that we must not become overconfident. The overconfidence in the 2022 “Red Wave”, and even the “Red Tsunami” may have led to a reduction in the voter enthusiasm needed to achieve victory, and we have been suffering with a tiny majority in the House and a minority position in the Senate ever since.
Trust none of them, and especially have no trust related to our election system.
IMO the Democrats have put in place all of the many elements of manipulation that exist in our election system and so if you vote early, they will have a strategy to counter it.
Detroit: Motor City has 2,337 Democratic poll watchers and just 310 Republicans.
The numbers must be overwhelming in order to not be able to be questioned.
And that will happen anyway, and then the Dems in Congress will refuse to install Trump as president and it is off to the Supreme Court.
Always remember: https://www.sigma3ioc.com/post/what-is-really-going-on-strategy-over-morality
“Remember: Those in the Pedestrian Realm (YOU) observe politics once removed as being a competition. And those politically empowered players in the Political Realm on both sides of the political divide are at war and play by rules of warfare structured by the Constitution. And we all understand the rules that apply in warfare, (There are none). This is where the two different conversations begin, and YOU are not even aware of or a part of one of them.”
And then there will be the constant protests and violence, fully justified of course.
They “Are not going black”
The presidency “Is a black job”.
According to Michelle Obama that is.
I have had troubles with the USPS this past year. If possible go to your Board of Elections and vote in person.
Correction:
“They “Are not going black””
Should be: They “Are not going back”
There is meaning in some typos.

Hopefully it’s not too late, the House and Senate are busy passing bills to hobble Trump and articles of impeachment are already being drawn up. The deep state do not plan on giving up power without a bloody fight.
Biden and Obama discussing Harris on a hot Mike?
Very funny. (some swearing, 44 seconds)
https://youtu.be/11KCA9tCaJY?si=5DrwtnRal4cCuLyE
Harris’ stint as a prosecutor may be what is hurting her—she put a lot of brothers away for having a bit of weed.
Concur with F, Americans are aware of planned election day interference and the word is out to “bank your vote.”
I find it somewhat funny that most polls are within the margin of error, and yet everyone knows the media and their polls are such BS, that everyone is assuming Trump is winning.
It’s infuriating that several swing states already know they can’t count all the votes on the 5th of November. The third world and Florida know how to count. When the counting stops late on the 5th of November, and the results slowly change over days, people are going to become enraged.
There’s going to be a lot of contention over cheating and illegal voters. They’ve been saying that ‘citizens’ voting from ‘overseas’ may be a factor this election. What the country needs is a quick clean election; what is has is another broken corrupt institution.
If Trump somehow ‘wins’, there will be a meltdown from deranged people the likes of which the civilized world rarely sees. May you live in interesting times.
Us normies have GOT to vote in huge numbers so as to increase the margin of fraud.
It’s disgusting that Americans have come to accept that there’s an inevitability about that.
God is in control. If it is his will we will overcome the cheating. As my President says, too big to rig!
Breaking news: Trump fixed the Ice Cream machine
https://t.ly/UR2-u
I don’t know about y’all, but I was alive in 1968, and I watched the democrats then stating they WERE THE SAVIORS of earth, our future in space, an existence w/o babylonian descended rulers in gov’ts, and lastly, ORBITAL factories that produce ALL MANNER of EXOTIC tech needed for exploring the fourth dimension……….however, Brookings 1960 overrode all of that, and now the babylonian descendants have decided to to extinct the non-kenites of the planet. By Jan. 2025.
Still, I’m VERY excited to live in this period of history, and very grateful.
The dead don’t vote until after midnight. And their numbers are infinite.
Max–
Oh yeah…
Jamie Raskin has been reading the Constitution. 12th & 14th Amendment in play.
When Trump is elected in November the House will instantaneously pass a resolution declaring Trump an insurrectionist and disqualifying his Electoral Votes.
At that point the Election goes to the House of Representatives and the House can only vote among presidential candidates who have already been assigned Electoral votes.
Kamala is the only remaining Presidential candidate.
It gets better…
When the House is choosing the President, each State delegation only gets one Vote.
Republicans control a majority of State Delegations.
–The House can only vote when there is a quorum present.
If House Republican’s walk out, there is no quorum.
If no quorum is present, JD Vance would become President.
Wayne, doesn’t it get even worse?
If the individual votes of the 50 states ends in a tie, Kamala Harris is the tiebreaker? A quorum to make this decision involves the “new congress people” just elected to office. They must be sworn in by house leadership which must be decided by a vote of the congress? This could end up being delayed for months
Meanwhile the country would temporarily be run by the Senate and the leader of the Senate is the vice president… Kamala Harris Who has a bin full of monkey wrenches to throw into the works…
At this point my head starts to hurt.
Related, update from the real world:
A customer came in today, she is gay, is a retired Police officer, is a Conservative and is married to a Joe Biden Liberal.
I ask her: Who is your wife going to vote for?
She said: “She is going to vote for Trump!
I said, WHAT! You have to be kidding me!
“Even she sees that a Kamala Harris presidency is a nonstarter, and it is ridiculous and insane”.
That is one gay couples’ perspective.
And now we have some young Black Americans perspective:

Suggestion: The next time a Democrat friend says, “Trump is a fascist”, ask them to define the term.
None of them can.
zayne,
Why (or maybe how) would the Republican controlled house pass such a resolution?
The Senate would also have to pass it.
You are also discounting faithless electors. Say one dope from California cast a vote for Pelosi. Or Hilary. Or AOC.
I think Raskin in on crack.
But I do think we should not get hopes up yet.
The dead votes have not been counted yet.
And in Georgia, many of those votes count 2 or 3 times…
“when he was Minnesota governor”
Um, unfortunately, he still is Minnesota governor, and with any luck for the rest of the country, still will be on Jan. 20.
The Republican early-vote turnout rates do seem to bode well for Trump. Provided those registered as Republicans are still voting for Trump at the same or higher rates as 2016 & 2020. Not so sure that is a slam dunk. If Harris can peel off a few percent, it might be the mirror of 2016. Now, in 2024, fear of being persecuted by Trump and his followers may result in these people saying one thing to pollsters, friends, etc and then quietly not voting for Trump as per their conscience.
And the other type of Republican who could mess up the party are those who are not shy and who publicly say they do not support him. People like Pence and the unprecedented number of his former cabinet and staff who are publicly saying they will not support him this time and see him as unfit or simply not the best choice.
If Trump loses fairly again (like he lost fairly in 2020), I suggest it is more probable that it will be some of his supporters who wrongly turn to rioting and public violence as January 6th, 2021 showed.
