Lies, More Lies and Fake News

I just read an article about how young people are voting in much higher numbers in early voting this year.  The author of the article pointed to a four fold increase by early voters under 30 in Pennsylvania compared to the last midterm in 2014.  That's just Fake News.  Pennsylvania does not have early voting.  You have to show up on Election day to cast your ballot.  Nevertheless, this nonsense is being pushed by the media in order to make sure that Dems don't get discouraged and Republicans do.

The truth is that according to actual figures put out by the secretary of state in the various states, there is a surge in early voting this year, but it is from Republican voters.  On average, Republicans are exceeding their number from 2016 which is extraordinary.  Democrat early voting numbers are down.  Young voters are especially NOT turning out.  For example, the average age of early voters in Arizona through yesterday was over 60.  That's official state data.
