The GOP is optimistic about early voting data from the seven battleground states, a turnaround from 2020 when Donald Trump bashed early voting.

Last presidential election, Democrats dominated the early and mail votes in large part because Donald Trump convinced his supporters that anything but a vote cast in person on Election Day could not be trusted. But this year, the Republican Party has embarked on a multimillion effort to change voters’ minds. And so far, it appears to be working.

Over the weekend, Democrats made up 38% of early ballots and Republicans 37%. But now, GOP voters have stronger turnout, including in Washoe County.
