The thing is, election day is just one day, and if some people need a ride, there's not enough time to ferry all of them to the polls. It has to start NOW, as soon as possible, to get as many people as possible to the polls. "Not giving the Dems an idea of how many votes they need to fake" (as some other pedes mentioned) won't be of much use if the Dems have to fake much fewer votes because half the GOP voters didn't show up to begin with.
It works this way every cycle. More Democrats tend to vote early. More Republicans tend to vote on election day.
I suspect many Trump voters will wind up voting early this year because they're afraid of problems on election day, but honestly, who in their right mind would vote a month before the election? A few days before election day is sufficient.
