According to the state board of elections web site, the number of registered voters has increased by 4.76% since October 2018.

At this point in 2018, a total of 719,939 people had voted, both by-mail and in person. If that number had just kept up with the increase in registered voters, we would expect 754,208 votes by this point. However, so far there have been 796,057 votes cast.

As far as I can see, we are running ahead by over 40,000 votes at this point.
