While we're waiting for "the official call", I wanted to share some really impressive stats around AAPI participation in this election, because the numbers are truly remarkable.
First, in presidential battlegrounds, 19% more AAPI voters cast a ballot in the early vote than voted in entirety in the 2016 election. The only other group to see their early vote exceed their 2016 total turnout was Latino voters, albeit by a narrower margin.
Nationally, 5% more AAPI voters cast a ballot than voted in the entirety of the 2016 election.
In every single battleground state, AAPI voters saw a bigger percent increase in votes cast, relative to '16, than any other group.
