GE 11/03/2020 Ballot Return Status Report
For 11/03/2020, over 3.8M ballots are returned in WA with 47,518 challenged. Almost 29,904 of these challenges are signature not matching . Another 5,857 are missing signatures. Voters should visit https://voter.votewa.gov and check their ballot status. For ballot status other than "Accepted", voters may want to contact or visit their county election department websites found at https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/auditors.
For turnout, please see https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/research/ballot-return-statistics.aspx 12% or 453,550 of all returned ballots were by voters who last voted in 2018 or earlier. 365,340 of all returned ballots were by voters whose 'LastVoted' field is "NA". These numbers suggest an increasing number of 'first time' and 'low propensity' voters in this very high turnout election. And that's significant since it suggests that this group will play an important part in the election:
round((453550 + 365340) / 3782114,3) * 100 =
21.7 percent of returned ballots are potentially from 'low propensity' or 'first time' voters.
