4/ Iowans are voting early differently, too.
At the same point in 2022, mail accounted for 48% of ballots received. Now: 25%.
Satellite voting rose from 12% to 35%.
Mail distrust? Convenience? More opportunities? The reports show the shift, but don’t tell us why.

Republicans: +34.4%

Democrats now account for the largest numerical increase: 25,019 additional ballots, followed by Republicans at 21,483.
Registration isn’t a vote choice.

Individual donations have barely budged for him, too.
