🗳️ AZ EARLY BALLOTS - STATEWIDE as of Oct 16 | 18 days out Issued: 3,247,650 Returned: 257,570 (7.9%) Returned, by party: 🔴R 36.9% 🔵D 40.8% ⚪Other 22.3% Today: 🔵D+4.9 Same day 2022: 🔵D+6.2 Republicans are running 1.2 points ahead of their 2022 pace, and ahead on the two neighboring days too, so it isn’t a one-day artifact. This does not account for split-ticket voting or how independents break. No one knows that until election day. What it does show is a structural edge: Republicans are holding 101,280 more outstanding ballots than Democrats right now, and their registration advantage has grown from 166,000 in 2022 to 313,000 today. The ballots are in hand. They have not come back yet. 2022 finished 🔴R+2.6 from 🔵D+6.2 here. – at Arizona, USA

(3/5) Here is where that went in 2022. Early ballots: D+7.1 at this stage -> R+2.6 at the end Election day: R+46.9 All voters: R+10.4 Republicans return late in Arizona, and then they show up in person. – at Arizona, USA

(4/5) Fewer raw ballots are back than 2022 at this stage, but the electorate returning them looks the same. No measurable over- or under-enthusiasm on either side. Status quo. – at Arizona, USA

(5/5) What this cannot tell you: - how independents will actually vote, - whether there are down-ballot defections. We have not seen the new registration advantages make any effect on this election at this point either. A well-organized ballot chase program is the variable. On the historical calendar that favors Republicans, who are sitting on 109,000 more outstanding ballots than Democrats. – at Arizona, USA

(2/5) Democrats lead returns by 7.0 points. In 2022 on this exact day they led by 7.1. Independents are 22.2% of returns, against 22.5% in 2022. Historically this is the Democrats' stretch of the calendar. It was in 2022 too. – at Arizona, USA

Political maps can be deceiving. Flat color ≠ turnout. So we built a terrain view: height is votes, color is who won them. Every Arizona race since 2022, down to the precinct. Plus live early-ballot returns, updated daily. See which precincts actually carry the votes, not just which ones are wide. Switch to any candidate and see their share at the same scale as the winner’s. Elections: stealth-analytics.com/electi… Early Ballots: stealth-analytics.com/early-…
