Early Voting

With early voting being mail-in this year, excluding a few states, many have been early voting but some choose to do it in person. For data, we surveyed 2,000 South Bend residents who claimed they were planning on voting this year and asked whether they would wait to vote and what party they were apart of. In this data analysis we will take a look at political parties and how they affect who votes early with mail.

The Data

Democrats v. Republicans
Republicans Democrats Different / No Party Total
Early Voter         206               742                       0 948
Waiting         791               254                       7 1,052
Total         997               996                       7 2,000

Conclusions

With this data, we can conclude several things.

  1. Democrats are more likely to vote early
  2. Republicans are more likely to vote on the in-person, not early date
  3. A significant portion of people that don't pertain to one specific party will wait to vote

It should also be reminded that this survey was taken by residents in South Bend with only 2,000 residents being questioned, with total Democrat and Republicans asked being not equal in total.*
