Obviously I won't get my hopes up in this very longshot race but the early voting Democratic turnout is impressive.

10. Don't read too much into the vote

This year, because of the redistricting effort, the NAACP and Democratic Party urged early voting to send a message.
And it may have worked, since several of the 10 Republican Senators who voted with the Dems to kill the redistricting mentioned the historic first day turnout.
That being said, we will work our asses off this year against Little Lindsey, but the vote here is typically about 55-45.

12. Senate races are state-wide and therefore, not affected by gerrymandering.

[SCantiGOP]

15. Of course

But it was the backlash to the redistricting effort that largely caused the early voting numbers outlined in the OP.
