Republican voters appear to be running up big leads during the opening stages of early voting in at least four of seven battleground states, in some cases not only chipping into mail-in ballot advantages that Democrats have built over the past few election cycles but surpassing them.
Overall, nearly 33 million Americans nationwide had already cast ballots in the Nov. 5 election as of Friday, with at least 15 million doing so in the 36 states where early voting is underway and 17.89 million mailing in their ballots, according to the University of Florida’s U.S. Election Lab…

… While Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan early voting trends are inconclusive, and those in Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania appear to favor Republicans, nowhere among the seven battleground states is the GOP enjoying a better pre-Election Day turnout than in Nevada.
According to Nevada Secretary of State numbers posted on Friday by Election Lab, 17,000 more Republicans had already voted than Democrats — 162,629 (39.8%) to 145,621 (35.6%), with 100,585 nonpartisans also voting in-person early.
That advantage is fueled by a significant lead in early in-person voting, which began on Oct. 19. According to Election Lab, 91,674 GOP voters, or 52% of Nevada’s 176,679 in-person early tally, had cast their ballots compared to 47,613 Democrats (27%) and 37,392 nonpartisans (21.2%).
Democrats had an 81,222 to 57,658 lead in mail-in ballots, with 232,156 of 1.975 million requested returned.
All Nevada voters automatically receive ballots in the mail unless they opt out, and the state offers same-day registration on Election Day.
