New York Republicans vote early in record numbers — but Dem turnout in ‘total free fall’

More New Yorkers than ever before are heading to the polls early — and the results appear to be good news for Republicans.

Through Thursday, 1,964,393 votes were cast in New York – including 701,402 in NYC, according the state Board of Elections.  

This puts the state on pace to exceed early-voting totals during the last presidential election, when 2,507,345 New Yorkers voted early over nine days.

In the Empire State’s seven battleground congressional districts, many more Republicans are voting early than in 2022, when the GOP flipped four New York seats on its way to score a slim edge in the House, according to data provided to The Post by New York Republicans Saturday.

Alex DeGrasse, executive director of Rep. Elise Stefanik’s campaign, said early voting results as of Thursday show state Dems “led by Kathy Hochul are in total free fall” and “no amount of spin can hide that.

“NY Republicans are turning out in record numbers for early in-person voting, vastly outperforming our 2022 margins in every seat, some by 50%,” he said. “Long Island looks great, as does the Hudson Valley and upstate.”

As of Thursday, there were 9.24% more Republicans voting than Dems in Suffolk County’s 1st Congressional District, where Republican incumbent Nick LaLota is positioned to beat Democrat John Avlon.

In the six other swing districts, which include two other Long Island seats, Dems were outvoting Republicans by 3.04% to 16.35%.  

Considering Democrats outnumber Republicans in New York by more than 2 to 1, and President Biden won most of the state’s battleground congressional districts in 2020, the small edge favoring Democrats shows great strides by the GOP.

Unlike the 2020 election when Republican Donald Trump lost the presidency to Joe Biden after telling supporters not to trust the early-voting process, the ex-president is all in this time around — and urging Republicans to vote early and back his bid to return to the White House.
