In 6 battleground states, black voters over the age of 65 have already exceeded their overall 2016 turnout numbers, thereby already setting turnout records with 6 days still remaining: AZ, FL, GA, NC, NV, TX.

In NC, GA, and TX Asian voters have already surpassed their 2016 overall turnout numbers, also setting turnout records with 6 days remaining. What's more, in AZ, FL, MI, and NV Asian seniors have surpassed their 2016 total vote numbers.

It's impossible to attribute these turnout surges to anything definitively, but some thoughts:
- Representation matters. Senator Kamala Harris has seemingly engaged AAPI voters, a group who historically have voted at very low rates.

- Seniors were told they should be willing to sacrifice themselves for the economy, and live under an administration whose plan for the pandemic seems to involve them being isolated indefinitely. Millions (3,596,025 to be exact) of seniors who sat out in '16 have already voted.
