New early voting data showed Democrats failing to hit their mark in several battleground states, giving Trump campaign officials more reasons for optimism Tuesday as President Trump rallied voters in key Midwestern states and Democrat Joseph R. Biden made a play for traditionally red Georgia.
In Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Arizona, Democrats are falling short of their target of 70% of early votes cast either in-person or by mail. That’s the lead they hoped to build up to stave off an expected higher Republican turnout on Election Day.
“The Democrats have not opened up a large enough lead in the early vote totals, and they know it,” said Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh. “They have now realized that they put too many eggs in the vote-by-mail basket, and they’re not hitting the marks they need.”
Campaigning in battleground Michigan, which does not track partisan affiliation of early voting, Mr. Trump said he’s pulled ahead by 3 percentage points, apparently referring to internal campaign polling. Mr. Biden leads by an average of 9 points in public polls.
“We’re going to have a great red wave,” said Mr. Trump, who also had campaign stops on Tuesday in Wisconsin and Nebraska. “It’s happening in Florida. Right now we’re leading almost everywhere. I gotta say, I’m working my ass off.”

Not to worry... Biden has a plan to continue counting votes until he wins. Early voting only helps to give Biden an idea on how many manufactured votes he needs to mail in or have collected. Remember he who counts the votes wins
