Early voting trends raise alarms for Kamala Harris in key swing states before election

Early voting statistics in key swing states are raising concerns for Kamala Harris' campaign just days before the election. In North Carolina, early voting among Black voters is lower than in 2020, while older and whiter voters dominate the turnout. In Nevada, Republicans have a significant early voting lead, with rural voters showing unexpectedly high turnout. As of Wednesday, Republicans led Democrats by 5.2 percent in early ballots, indicating a potential shift in this traditionally Democratic state. Nationwide, Democrats still hold a slight edge in early voting, but the gap has narrowed compared to previous elections. In 2020, Democrats led by 14.3 points during early voting, while the current margin is just 3.8 points.
