>> What is the state of the vote out there? Well, we've got some pretty amazing numbers.
Apparently in just 25 states, more than 860,000 Americans have already cast their vote in
the 2020 election, but let's forget about that and let's ram through a SCOTUS nominee.
Anyway, so nearly a million in 25 states so far.
Now to put that into perspective, for the same time period back in 2016, 9,525 had voted
early. >> That is like 100 times less at this point.
So Francesca, we knew that the numbers were gonna be larger, but a hundred times is quite
a bit larger. Quite a bit.
>> It's huge. It's huge and you can see why DeJoy is nervous and why Trump is leaning
on him to do something about the postal service, right? Cuz, I'm sure that was already happening.
Look, vote early y'all. That's all I have to say. I think this is great.
This is great. You can vote early, vote early in person, vote early by mail. But if they're
gonna kill us in this country with one of the longest electoral cycles and campaign
cycles in the world, when did it start, like three years out, then let us vote early at
least.
Let us be able to vote and not think about it anymore cuz, my God, but yeah, it's it's
a good sign. It is, it is. And, hopefully, this sort of comparison will be updated in
a couple of weeks because based on what happened in 2016, it starts to ramp up heavily from
here on out, one week later.
So it had been 9,500, one week later in 2016, 78,000 people had cast their ballots, so it
had gone up by about eight, nine times. So we'll see if that's the same. The next week,
it had gone up to 1.4 million. So in a couple of weeks, we'll see if we're significantly
higher than that 1.4 million.
Now, what we've seen so far of that nearly 900,000 early votes, out of three states reporting
party registration data, says Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, the majority of early voters
are Democrats at 54%. Republicans make up 16.7% and those without a party affiliation
make up 29.1%, so it is leaning towards the Democrats as you might expect.
Now, I agree this news has, hey, look, isn't this great that even in a pandemic, people
can get out there and vote. They can take part in their democracy and isn't it great
that so many are doing so? Donald Trump has responded to this sort of news by saying the
ballots being returned to states cannot be accurately counted.
Many things are already going very wrong. How would he know?
>> How would he know? >> How would you know that? And so what it
is is he is running kind of against Biden, but really against the election. He is running
against the election itself, he to the extent that he can signal it, he is signaling to
us that he does not think he's going to win.
This is not a position of confidence or the tough alpha guy is like totally got this,
he is running as a whiny loser. >> Yeah.
>> And you would do that if your plan was not to win but to challenge the results.
>> Yeah, he might not finish the race.
He's like the kid who's you're cheating. He's like running behind, right, right? You're
a cheater. Screw this, I don't even want to win. You know, like that kind of thing. That's
where he's at. I don't know how state-by-state elections are working. I assume that those
ballots are in safekeeping, they will not be opened until election day, they will not
be counted then, right, but does he have Intel that we don't know?
Is he hearing from Desantis? Is he hearing from governors that it's not looking good
for him. But this is again why I mean mentioning DeJoy, it just sends chills down my spine
because it's like all of the top crook. All the other crooks have to feed off the top
crook and if the top crook goes down, well then they go down too.
If the top crook gets prosecuted, will they get prosecuted too? And it hasn't worked that
way completely under the presidency. But as soon as he's not the president anymore, that's
when it's game on, right? So, right, but it's like DeJoy and others who paid their way into
this administration, they've got a lot to lose if Trump loses.
This is the person in charge of our mail. Cool, cool. Vote early in person, y'all. You
can do that in many many, many, many states. Yeah, you can do it early, you can do it by
mail, vote.org or toit.com/vote. You can get so much information about deadlines, how to
register, you can track your ballot if you've already sent it out.
Don't think that just because you voted everything's finalized, you want to make sure of that.
Definitely check that twice.
