There is still plenty of time for Republicans to make up these mounting deficits. Election Day will undoubtedly be a red wave at the polls in many states, as it has been in the past. In-person early voting – a method of voting typically favored by Democrats – might be more Republican this year, as happened for the first time in Florida's August state primary. Ironically, Republicans will have Democrats casting mail ballots to thank for making their in-person voting experience easier and safer because polling place lines will be shorter.
Another irony is that with so many mail ballots being returned early, in many states the first election results that election officials will report on election night will be these heavily Democratic mail ballots. Yes, mail ballots received on or after Election Day (depending on state law) may be counted later, and some states will take time to process their ballots. But almost assuredly Biden will leap out into an early lead in key states like Florida and North Carolina, and it will be Trump who will have to wait to make up ground with the Election Day vote.
