They're the people who want to wear masks and keep their distance from other people, rather than assembling in big groups at polling stations.
Short version - the people that want to stay away from other people because of Covid are, not surprisingly, the ones that believe Covid is real. The majority of them are Democrats. Republicans voted in person because their leader has downplayed everything as no big deal. Since in person votes get counted first, that's why Trump's play has been that mail in voting is wrought with fraud becaseu he knew that's how this would go and was laying the basework for contesting the results and why they want the counting stopped.
It's crazy. Usually I just cast my vote and don't pay much attention afterwards until results are in, but this time I am watching news like a hawk and I am not typically into politics.I've never been so interested in an election

I just can't get over the fact that it's so close. How can this be? How can anyone look at the last 4 years and think it's okay to do 4 more? Are these people really who we share the world with?

I truly cannot wrap my head around it. But then again, when I was a kid my dad told me something along the lines of "statistically, 50% of people are below average IQ" or something like that and that's ringing very true here and I think about that a lot. The way people view Trump are from two very different angles in this country. To ignore all that is wrong with what Trump has done and still support him is frightening. But that's the problem, they do not see his actions as wrong. Sorry, I won't derail the topic, just ranting. Happy to see so many voted, is all.
Reportedly its the highest turnout in over a century. It's so close there's bound to be recounts and lawsuits causing additional delays in the results. We have polarization of the electorate - living in different worlds, as you say. Demographically, socially, economically, there are many ways to analyze the electorate. Pundits, pollsters and professors all have their different takes on it. That so many people would rally to a such a compromised and unconventional figure as Trump tells us something has gone wrong for many people. There is great dissatisfaction at hand.It's crazy.

I get not liking Biden. I think I've made that pretty clear. But liking Trump? After the last four years? That's something I don't understand. I don't mean tolerating Trump, but actually supporting him over others who ostensibly represent largely the same segment of the population. I don't get that.
It's not worth trying I don't think. It's not worth arguing with them. You just have to let these people realize their faults on their own overtime. I mean hell, it wasn't until I was 32 this year to really understand what these racial and police protests were really about, and it just sorta clicked.
