I have to be honest, the early voting numbers look really good for Donald Trump.  At this stage, Democrats were supposed to have cast more ballots than Republicans in North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada, but instead Republicans have a solid lead in ballots cast in all three states.  Trump’s poll numbers have been surging throughout the month of October, and he clearly has the momentum right now.  There is talk that we could be witnessing a “Kamala collapse”, but there is still one factor that could save the Harris campaign, and it should not be ignored. The Democrats were counting on building up a huge margin during the early voting period like they did in 2020, but that has definitely not happened this time around… In previous elections, Democrats have been much more likely to vote early as Republicans turn up on Election Day. Registered Democrats led by 7.5 percentage points during early voting in 2016. That nearly doubled to a 14.3-point gap in the midst of a global pandemic in the 2020 election. As of Monday, early voting among Democrats was just 3.8 points higher than Republicans. However, there is one number that gives the Harris campaign hope. According to NBC News, 54 percent of all early votes have been cast by women, and only 44 percent of all early votes have been cast by men. That is huge, because Harris is doing really well with women in the polls… An analysis of Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted in October shows that, among women, Harris led Trump by 12 points. Additionally, Harris only trailed Trump by 2 points among white women – 46% to 44% – a much smaller margin than the 16-point lead Trump had over Joe Biden in the 2020 election. This could end up being the deciding factor in this campaign. In several of the most important swing states, women are outvoting men by a double digit margin… In the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina, there is at least a 10-point gap between men and women in the early vote. The gender gap was widest in Pennsylvania as of 2 a.m. ET on Thursday, with women accounting for about 56 percent of the early vote, and men for about 43 percent. Pennsylvania, the largest battleground state, is key for both Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump, and both have campaigned in the state more than any other as polls show a tight race in the final days of the campaign. Newsweek has contacted the Trump and Harris campaigns for comment via email. Women like to get things out of the way, while men like to procrastinate. That is just the way that it is. But if men don’t show up in large numbers on November 5th, there is a very good chance that Kamala Harris could end up winning. Conservative pundit Charlie Kirk is really freaked out about this… Early vote has been disproportionately female. If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple. If you want a vision of the future if you don’t vote, imagine Kamala’s voice cackling, forever. Men need to GO VOTE NOW. This is the one thing that could keep a “Kamala collapse” from happening. Because every other early voting number that we are getting looks very good for Trump. For example, in Georgia a “massive number” of people that did not vote in 2020 are showing up to cast their ballots… A massive number of Georgians who did not participate in the 2020 presidential election recently voted early as former President Donald Trump (R) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) battle for the White House, an analysis shows. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) and GeorgiaVotes.com found that over half a million of the people living in the state who did not vote in 2020 have already cast their ballot, the outlet reported on Wednesday. Trump has been polling far better among people that do not vote regularly than Harris has. So this is a very promising sign for the Trump campaign. Also, turnout in Georgia is highest in “sparsely populated rural counties where Republicans dominate”… In a social media post on Thursday, AJC political reporter Greg Bluestein pointed out, “The highest early voting turnout in Georgia isn’t in Democratic strongholds such as DeKalb County or the fiercely contested suburbs that surround metro Atlanta.” “It’s in sparsely populated rural counties where Republicans dominate,” he added. I think that Trump is going to win Georgia. According to the final AtlasIntel battleground poll, Trump is actually leading in all seven of the most hotly contested swing states… The most accurate poll of 2020, AtlasIntel, releases their final battleground poll showing Trump winning all 7 battleground states. Finish strong, vote, and make this a reality. Arizona: Trump +5 North Carolina: Trump +4 Nevada: Trump +4 Georgia: Trump +2 Pennsylvania: Trump +1 Michigan: Trump +1 Wisconsin: Trump +.3 If this is how the election plays out, Trump would win 312 electoral votes. The “Trump surge” is so obvious at this point that even pollster Frank Luntz has been forced to admit that Trump has the momentum.  The following is what he told CNN during a recent interview… Luntz said, “Because it reminds me so much of 2016. And I think there are a lot of similarities right now between this campaign and that campaign. The divisions in the country were significant back then, people didn’t think Trump had a chance back then. He’s been gaining and gaining the momentum. I don’t know who’s going to win. I can’t call it, and nobody should because statistically and polling and focus groups, it is way too close to call. However, the momentum is clearly — in what I see and what I hear — is in his favor.” And it appears that Trump’s momentum could also help Republicans win the House and Senate… The Republican brand is benefitting from a late surge on the generic congressional ballot. The GOP had been behind all summer, sometimes by as much as two points. Ten days ago, however, the Republican Party began to climb in the RealClearPolitics average poll of generic ballot polls. Today, the GOP leads by nearly a full point, 47.6 to 46.7 percent. This is no fluke, meaning it is not based on one outlier poll that can skew the entire field. Of the seven most recent polls, Republicans have led in five and two are tied. That shows real movement in the closing days of the campaign. But I must stress that none of these poll numbers are going to mean anything if men don’t show up in huge numbers to vote on November 5th. As we have seen in the past, the polls can be very wrong. What really matters is people showing up to vote. In 1980, the race between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan was considered to be extremely tight, but Reagan ended up winning in a landslide. In 2012, the race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was considered to be extremely tight, but Obama ended up winning in a landslide. If men only cast 44 percent of the total votes in this election, Trump is not going to win.

However you choose to vote in Tuesday’s election, it’s critical to have a plan to cast your ballot. If you’re one of the millions of Americans who vote by mail, recent difficulties experienced by the United States Postal Service mean it’s even more important to have a plan to ensure your ballot makes it into the hands of election workers on time. If you can, return your ballot in person—even if you received it by mail. Every state but Tennessee permits voters to return their ballots in person, so don’t risk your vote by dropping your ballot in the mail. Federal law requires USPS to “provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas” and to “give the highest consideration to the requirements for the most expeditious collection, transportation, and delivery of important letter mail.” This includes election mail. Unfortunately, although the Postal Service pays lip service to its efforts to ensuring election-related mail, including ballots, is delivered in a timely fashion, it hasn’t lived up to its promises. In its report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ended Sept. 30, USPS admitted that it failed to deliver on time nearly one-third of the mail that should have been delivered in three to five days (including election mail). In some parts of the country, that failure rate was as high as 54.5%. Applying USPS’ own metrics, this means that the Postal Service would have failed to deliver nearly 10 million ballots on time. Part of the cause of these delays is that ballots and other election mail aren’t being given priority processing, which USPS regulations require. Effectively, some ballots are left on the sorting room floor at the end of each day. Further to the point, the Postal Service’s own inspector general highlighted problems with USPS’ inability to deliver ballots on time, expressing concerns in a July audit report that USPS’ “processes and policies … could pose a risk of delays in the processing and delivery of election and political mail.” Within those findings, the inspector general discovered, for example, that “Postal Service personnel did not always comply with the election and political mail policy and procedures” necessary for timely delivery of the mail and applied processes inconsistently or an insufficiently. Specific processes for handling ballots “were not fully effective,” the inspector general said. For its part, the Postal Service reminds voters to mail their ballots early to ensure an on-time delivery. This is good advice, but the problem is that USPS’ promised delivery of election mail slips nearly every election. USPS now suggests that voters should plan that it could take up to a week for their ballot to reach elections officials. It’s clear that the Postal Service is struggling. Although USPS has promised to do better in advance of Nov. 5—and we all hope it succeeds—voters shouldn’t test those promises with their ballots. News of USPS’ difficulties is important for those waiting to receive birthday or holiday cards or wedding invitations, but timeliness is even more important when it’s your vote. Trusting your ballot to ballot drop boxes is not necessarily better, as there is still a period where your ballot is unattended and in transit before being received by election officials. Just last week, two ballot drop boxes in Washington and Oregon were set on fire by someone intent on disrupting the election process. Take the safe route and don’t leave delivery of your ballot to chance—return your ballot in person. In most states, this is as simple as dropping off your ballot at your polling location or at your local board of elections office. This way, you can be assured that your ballot makes it into the ballot box for counting. Instructions for how to return your mail ballot in person may be included with your mail ballot. If you’re unsure how to proceed, call your local elections office and ask. Or, you can visit your state’s official website for assistance. If you don’t have that information handy, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission provides a helpful guide that lists contact information for elections office in each state. In any event, elections officials will be happy to assist you in returning your ballot in person. Someday, the Postal Service may be back in fighting shape and this warning won’t be unnecessary. But, at least for now, returning your ballot by mail shouldn’t be a voter’s first choice. And if you are unable to return the ballot in person, place it in a ballot drop box or mail it as soon as possible. So, if you’re able, set your mind at ease by returning your ballot to election officials in person. Doing so will ensure your ballot isn’t subject to the storms at a troubled Postal Service—leave that for the bills. Instead, your vote will arrive safely and securely for your local ballot box before the close of the polls, where it belongs. We publish a variety of perspectives.
