Michigan rally shows surprising twist in early-voting story
At Michigan gathering **Donald Trump** keeps questioning early-voting methods while data shows different picture. Republican voters actually show higher turn-out numbers in states with flexible voting options
In Novi MI during the kick-off of early-voting period Donald Trump spoke against new voting methods: his message stays un-changed since the previous election cycle
The ex-presidents stance creates a weird situation - while hes openly against mail-in and early in-person options (which he connects to non-existing election problems) other party members try to get more people using these voting methods. The timing of his anti-voting speech seems off because data from other states shows that Republicans are doing better with early-voting than before
The rally highlighted an interesting divide between:
* Partyʼs need to use all voting options
* Leaders personal views
* Actual voter behavior on-ground
Recent turn-out numbers paint a different picture than Trumps claims; showing higher-than-expected Republican participation in states where early-voting already started
