Studies show red teamers overwhelming vote on Election Day, so I'll guess either because they are older and conditioned to do it on that day or because Trump has lied and continues to lie to his base about election fraud.

Is this about the DCCC funding Republican candidates in the primaries?

That was my first thought, but the news this morning had a huge line of mostly Black voters in Atlanta, and I'm sure there will be all kinds of stories about voters in Black communities having to wait in long lines. I doubt those are all red-voting Black people.

There were rumblings earlier in the year about Georgia voting laws being "Jim Crow 2.0", so it's possible that given the history of voter suppression there many people thought it safer to vote in person, like if Trump is saying blue states will throw out or modify ballots of early voting red teamers what is to stop a red state from doing that to blue teamers? It will be interesting to hear the postmortem on the Black vote there particularly if Abrams loses.

I might be wrong, but I think this was the first election here in Missouri where we had to show a photo id, under the new election laws.
