HUGE early voter turnout compared to 2008


[QUOTE]With two days of early voting in the books for Colorado, 325,000 votes have been cast. This makes up almost 10% of the active registered voters.

Republicans have a slight edge in voter registration overall in Colorado.

Here are the early voting stats so far.

Of the ballots cast so far, 39% have been from Republicans, 37% from Democrats, and 27% from unaffiliated voters.


The breakdown on Oct 23, 2008 showed only 85,000 early votes being cast. Of those, 40% were Democrats, 33% Republicans and 27% unaffiliated.[QUOTE]

Trigg. Forgive me for saying this here. But. Somehow. I just can't see Nevada going for Romney. Simply because. Despite a car accident earlier today. Harry Reid managed to KEEP HIS LIPS from being injured. And, being Harry Reid's Lips is very important, when it comes to convincing ANYONE with a Boys, or Male name to vote DEMOCRAT.

Oh OK

GOD now we will sweat this out clear up to the 7th or 8th. I expect it to be that close.

Florida- republican votes are up by 61,000

north Carolina-53% of ballots are dem

Nevada-dem votes is up by 39,000

Ohio- voting is up in dem areas, but the data is not broken down better than that

Iowa- dem votes are up 60,000, but there are 146,000 independent voters so who knows where that race is right now

Colorado- republican votes are up by 16,000

Virginia- voting is up 18% in areas McCain won in in 2008 that is huge.

It really looks like republicans are going to take Florida, Virginia and Colorado. In Iowa the dems are up but the independents throw a huge ? into the results.

Ha! Now I see what they are doing, thank you Trigg. They aren't reporting the actual vote, they are just reporting the registration of the people who already did vote. There are so many registered Independents, though, that I can't see how that can tell us anything!

All the same, I see what you mean ----

If Republican turnout is up a lot, that is meaningful, maybe.



I don't know. Seems to me early voters could be a very different kind of voter.

I don't know. Seems to me early voters could be a very different kind of voter.Well if MORE republicans are voting early then that would bode well for MORE republicans voting on election day. The "fever" to vote the first "black president" isn't there!! There is however a fever of "get this lunatic out" I see some states going Red that you wouldn't think of and its going to be a huge surprize!!! IMHO
