Early voting is open in my state. Are we needing to vote early to show the polls are wrong or are we swamping them in 11/5 so they won’t know how many votes they need to make up?

Voting early could provide the following:
If the left messes with election day, as they did in Phoenix by shutting down vote machines all over Maricopa County, then an early vote will have already been counted and will not be caught up in the mess.
Shorter lines. Much easier to vote in person than on the day of the election. Anyone short on time due to kids, work, appointments, etc. should find it easier to vote. Early voting doesn't mean mail-in voting necessarily.
If one has already voted then the Get Out The Vote Operations for the Right do not need to focus on getting you out to vote. They can focus on low propensity voters. People who need an extra nudge.
If one has already voted, then rather than waiting in line on election day, one could instead use that time to help GOTV operations.
Edit to add:
In 2020 the left was down MILLIONS of votes. So they just shut down counting in the battleground states until they could MANUFACTURE the votes needed to win.
Waiting until election day to "surprise them" on how many votes they will need seems like a moot point if they can just make up the votes needed by delaying the count to run more ballots through the machines.
My Big Assumption
The 2024 election will be relatively safe and secure compared to 2020. I don't think they will get away with the same cheating methods.
I think they may try one of two new cheating methods:
There will be MAJOR disruptions on election day, November 5th. The left historically gets more early ballots in. If that is the case, they will win. Whatever disrupts 11/5, the left will just say, too bad, should have voted early like we did. We both had equal opportunities to vote early.
There will be massive ILLEGALS voting. There is a reason they added over 15 million foreigners to our country. They will flood the votes with these new voters, regardless of the legality of their votes. The left will just say they didn't know they were illegals. Take us to court.
I respect your view. I do not trust early voting because in the past it has been more easily manipulated than day of election voting. In my opinion We have to make it To Big To Rig on Election Day.
I have always been a day of voter too. I can't shake what they did in Maricopa to Kari Lake though.
Because they knew the right would come out in force on election day, they made sure the computers didn't work on election day.
The fact is, the left is going to cheat no matter what. They will cheat before, during, and after the election.
We need two things.
Safe and secure elections or nothing else matters.
Like you said, too big to rig. I take this to mean winning the mail in ballots, early in person ballots, AND day of election voting in person. Too big to rig would be all three.
I will say this, most of us here are not "low propensity" voters. We will all find a way to vote in the way we prefer to vote.
Having said that, once we have voted, Trump and his team no longer need to worry about spending time or money on us and can put that time and money into people who are fence sitters, ambivalent, lazy, or not truly informed about our nation's peril.
If all of us wait until election day, then there is no good way for Trump's GOTV team to focus the time, money, and attention needed on low-propensity voters.
I am totally fine with how you and everyone else choose to vote. I just want everyone to vote any way they want to and in the largest numbers possible.
