LOL, hey, it’s the Dope. I know you’re only upholding a time-honored tradition.

Total Early Votes: 99,657,079 • In-Person Votes: 35,720,830 • Mail Ballots Returned: 63,936,249 • Mail Ballots Outstanding: 28,212,749
Only 343,000 short of 10^8. Not sure if they’ll update the page any more, But there’s almost certainly many more postal ballots than that either in transit or uncounted in various Elections Offices.
Stay on target…
I heard on the local NPR affiliate this morning, that ballots have been returned by 73% of Washington’s eligible voters.
As of when? I wonder how high that’ll get. In typical years, there’s pretty heavy usage of drop boxes on election day, and we’re a “postmarked-by” rather than a “received-by” state when it comes to mailed ballots. It wouldn’t surprise me if we were in the vicinity of 85% when it was all said and done.
Since the report I heard was on at zero-dark-hundred, I can only presume as of last night.
ETA: A quick google found the WA SoS ballot return statistics page. As of yesterday:
4,877,969 voters in this election
3,545,289 total ballots received
72.7% of ballots have been received.
So, yeah. 73% as of last night.
Too late to add:
79.4% of the ballots were returned for the 2016 elections, with the last ones accepted on 11/24/2016. The final date for accepting ballots was 11/29/2020, but the page shows no ballots were received in the last five days of the period.
FWIW: The last day ballots will be accepted in Washington for this election is 11/24/2020.
My county in So FL is up to a hair under 72% of registered voters having voted as of 1pm. No idea how far behind real-time their data for in-person voting is:

Looks like the site has been updated today:

Colorado is at 70%. Our voter breakdown is about 28% Pub; 32% Dem; 40% unaffiliated so although a smaller percentage of unaffiliated voted have cast their ballots, the number is higher than either Pub or Dem ballots. As our counties tally the votes as they come in, I suspect most of the races will be known by 7:05MST

Yet another update. I trust they’re not including in-person votes from today. The 22,000 additional is likely just late reports from yesterday or earlier.
I’m sure you are right.
Thanks for reporting this out. You’ve made my day!
My cable box died.
My CNN app is crashing - “please try again later”
I am on my second pint of the night.
Help me SDMB - you’re my only hope!
