Democrats are doing a great job of getting out and voting early. Obviously, the most committed people will vote first and we have a long way to go, but we have a lot of votes in the bank and a lot more than Republicans.
I think the Republicans are making a big mistake by bashing mail-in voting and they don't seem to be encouraging early in-person voting either. There is nothing wrong with voting in person on election day, but getting votes in early helps to avoid unexpected events - bad weather, virus outbreaks, your car not starting, etc. On the campaign level, it also allows the Biden campaign to see where votes have been cast and where they are outstanding. The Republicans have a lot less early votes in so they are more in the dark.
Here is the cool early vote tracker I am keeping an eye on:

We lost very important people this past year, who spent their entire lives fighting on political fronts for people of color, the LBGTQ, and a host of other important, vital issues most Americans see intrinsically as vital to their every day life existence. In my mind, nothing but a landslide vote in favor of the Biden/Harris ticket will do. I know it can be a close call, but every instinct i have tells me that this will be the most important election for generations to come.
I mailed my ballot in person at the post office. I signed up for electronic notice that my ballot has been counted (should know by end of week).
Keeping my fingers crossed that justice will be served and that the will of the people will show that TP is out and Biden/Harris will win back our country from the terrible reign of terror by current DC (GOP) admin.
Gooooo
Blue!
