Democrats are voting significantly faster now, bringing the GOP lead from 1.8% to 1.4% after just TWO DAYS. They are definitely on track to surpass republicans in return RATE.

The Vermont State Senator mentioned in these chats, 27 year old Sam Douglass, represents a Harris+2 District 💀. He won it by 20 points.

For context, VT Dems had a downballot massacre in 2024, and these chats were unknown at the time.
