So Republicans are under performing in overall turnout R/D comparison 12.3% from ’16 and underperforming in VBM turnout R/D comparison by 8.4% compared to ’16 and your sub headline is “Republicans continue to out preform in early voting”? If a junior campaign staffer would have written this as a press release on these facts, they would have been laughed at.
You claim to be a news service offering objective information and then write this? Well it seems pretty clear you aren’t objective.
Leave the trumped up spin to the campaigns.
