2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEarly Voting Limits Trump’s Time for Comeback
New York Times: Voting actually starts in less than six weeks, on Sept. 23 in Minnesota and South Dakota, the first of some 35 states and the District of Columbia that allow people to cast ballots at polling sites or by email before Nov. 8. Iowa is expected to have ballots ready by the end of September, as are Illinois and two other states.The electoral battlegrounds of Arizona and Ohio are to begin voting on Oct. 12, nearly four weeks before Election Day. And North Carolina and Florida will be underway before Halloween.
Early voting has become a critical, even decisive factor in presidential elections: President Obama was sufficiently ahead in the early vote in Iowa and Nevada in 2012 that his campaign shifted resources from those states to others, according to former advisers, who also credited enthusiastic early voting in 2008 for his victory in North Carolina and elsewhere.

OP
If the primaries proved anything, it's that Clinton excels at turning out early voters.

We will get every voter out early we can as the powers that be have screwed with polling places and shut many down in Dem areas...we will start making sure people have requested absentee ballots and sent them in too.

Early voting just might seal his fate before election day even comes around!
Maybe the news media will call it for Hillary before dinner!!
