Early voting update: so far, over 8.8 million Americans have voted early in person or by mail:

For context, again—138 million votes were counted in the 2016 election. Turnout is over 20% of 2016 turnout in a number of states, including Wisconsin.

Always possible this reflects in part “cannibalization” of Election Day votes, but there are some indications that overall turnout will be way up. Which is usually bad news for incumbents, and in most states is generally bad news for Republicans.
