These numbers are current as of daybreak today. So far, 196,700 absentee ballots have been returned. That’s a return rate of 78.9 percent, which probably will exceed 90 percent once all the votes are counted. The turnout of registered voters is at 29.3 percent. If the final turnout of registered voters is under 60 percent, Democrats are in trouble.

Update. Flathead Memo’s historical voter information spreadsheet includes Voting Eligible Population data that are not published by the MT SecST. It was last updated this morning, the file’s name notwithstanding.
