Description
The Cook Political Report just shifted 19 more House races toward Democrats and the media is pushing early voting numbers that show Democrats ahead. They’re trying to convince Republicans the House and Senate are already lost so you’ll stay home.
This is the classic playbook. Democrats bank early and mail votes. Republicans have always shown up strongest on Election Day. Early ballot numbers do not equal final results, and a lot of these “shifted” races are still toss-ups or very close.
We break down the actual early voting data (including where Republicans are competitive in-person), why the ratings changes look more like narrative than settled fact, and why the path to holding the House and Senate is still open if people actually vote.
Election Day is November 3. Don’t let them talk you out of it.
