Election officials in key general election battleground states are noticing a surge of requests for absentee ballots by Democrats – upending a trend of Republicans in some crucial states typically dominating voting by absentee ballot through the mail. It’s a similar story in Pennsylvania – another key battleground state – where ballot requests by Democrats are nearly triple those of Republicans. In Ohio, half of ballot requests so far have come from Democrats, with 38% coming from Republicans. Michigan currently appears to be the only key state where Republicans have the edge over Democrats in absentee ballot requests. The poll indicated that Democrats are more than twice as likely than Republicans to vote by absentee ballot or mail.
