All I can gain from this data is the number of people that voted early. A secondary effect is the party affiliation of the early voters.
Since nothing precludes you from voting R when you are registered D, and vice versa, there's not much else we can derive from this data.
But we can also do historical comparisons, e.g. how many registered Rs voted early historically vs this year. At this point we still can't say if there are more registered & active R voters now than 4 years ago, since we still have to wait for voting day for that.
Not to mention which way non affiliated voted. However, I think we can safely assume the direction. I was trying to find some 2020 data to compare early voters from then but couldn't find anything applicable. Based off of what we've seen about Rs actively registering and party flips, we may know more than the data alludes.
