Seems to be more varied
The topics are: "Fighting COVID-19," "American Families," "Race in America," "Climate Change," "National Security" and "Leadership."
He's not great on a couple of those and by not great I mean horrible.
I don’t see any of those where he would have the upper hand across the spectrum of voters. His arguments on race, climate change, and leadership will fall on deaf ears to anyone but his base. Even the base isn’t particularly happy with his handling of COVID. I guess he might be able to score a few points talking about the pre-COVID economy during the American families segment.

He'll rant about Antifa for the national security thing for sure.
 
Whats the big deal, or rather the implication, about these early voting patterns?
You can roughly break things down into the below 5 tranches


The early voting patterns would suggest high enthusiam for Dems which may/may not be matched by Rs closer to election day.

But in general campaigns prefer the bird in the hand of a vote already cast as it reduces the risk of technical poll issues, a bad last debate or “October surprises” like Comey letter or whatever the below is about changing people’s minds.

One is that early/absentee voting on the whole tends to be a higher % of Dem votes than the election at large, so more voting in this manner seems to benefit the Democratic candidate.

The other is the turnout has been massive which points to higher turnout overall. This also benefits Democrats typically.
 
There's a pandemic going on. Having lots of people gathered in one place in one day isn't a good idea.

My polling station handled it very well I thought.

Relocated several polling stations to allow for bigger rooms/more space.
Enter and exit building on different sides.

Workers outside to help with spacing, marked waiting spots close to the entrance and within the building.
Hand sanitizer at entrance to building and voting room, masks required, every individual given their own new pen to use (and take with them so no reuse), plexiglass screens for all workers, well spaced voting booths.

The only thing that would have improved it would have been workers cleaning each voting booth between uses. The site had wipes you could take to wipe yours down, but that did require voters to be proactive. I think I was the only one I saw that did it.

They also had curb side voting which allows folks to stay in their car - usually for disabled, but where allowing high risk and older folks in general to do it.
