Because registered Democrats have voted by mail in larger numbers than Republicans (although we don’t yet know who they voted for), Online Cigarettes Store USA Joe Biden is likely to jump out to an early lead in Ohio, Florida and North Carolina, which report pre-Election Day votes first. But it’s the size of that likely lead that will matter most. The question will be whether, with votes still to be counted, Biden is ahead by enough to stay ahead.
