What do we actually know about early voter information?
We know affiliation, what we don't know is is early voter turnout reflective of Election Day turnout. And it might be presuming the parties have equal ground game. However given that Hillary has a vastly superior ground game her earlier voting numbers should be better.
It is untested whether or not the missing republican early voters due to a lack of ground game show up on Election Day. I believe it's likely they will as early voters are high propensity voters to begin with so whether or not they vote early they are likely to vote.
So I think drawing any assumptions out of the early voting data is possibly very misleading.
To me the most you can assume out of early voting is Clinton is more likely to outperform polling than trump.
