Early Voting Trends Favor Republicans in 2024

Early voting data across several states indicates a notable trend of increased Republican participation compared to Democrats ahead of the 2024 general election. In West Virginia, registered Republicans are leading with significant turnout, consistent with a national pattern of heightened Republican engagement. Similarly, New Jersey has seen Republicans leading slightly in early in-person voting, although Democrats still dominate mail-in ballots. Virginia reports Democrats maintaining an early voting edge, yet Republicans are experiencing a resurgence in participation. Nevada shows Republicans continuing to vote at higher rates than Democrats, with a significant number participating in-person. Pennsylvania's early voting numbers reveal Republicans outperforming Democrats by 435,000 votes compared to the previous election cycle, raising alarms for Democratic strategists.
