Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen, cast their ballots during early voting in Indianapolis, Friday, October 23. “This is a glass half-full, glass half-empty situation,” said John Couvillon, a Republican pollster who tracks early voting closely. “At some point, Republicans have to vote,” said Michael McDonald, a University of Florida political scientist who tracks early voting on ElectProject.org. Trump’s campaign has been pushing its voters to cast ballots early, but with limited success, delighting Democrats. “We do expect them to come out in very high numbers on Election Day.”That split in voting behavior — Democrats voting early, Republicans on election day — has led some Democrats to worry about Trump declaring victory because early votes are counted last in Rust Belt battlegrounds.
