According to Pew Research, 27% of votes were cast on election day, 27% at early voting sites, and 46% via absentee or mail-in ballots. The breakdown by candidate is interesting:
Trump - 37% election day - 30% early voting - 32% absentee/mail-in
Biden - 17% election day - 24% early voting - 58% absentee/mail-in
That means that 67% of Trump voters went to a polling station to cast their ballot while only 41% of Biden's did so. What does the election look like in that case?
Trump 49,728,639 vs. Biden 33,325,465
This is a Trump landslide, a 60 - 40 split. The number of people leaving their house to vote for Trump dwarfs the number who did the same for Biden. Now let's look at the absentee/mail-in votes.
Biden 47,144,756 vs. Trump 23,750,992
That is a Biden tsunami, a 66 - 33 split. This is a massive drubbing.
This split between Trump and Biden voters follows the candidates' behavior. Trump was out campaigning and his voters came to the polls. Biden spent most of the campaign season in his house and that is what the majority of his voters did.
