Its still pretty early to gauge but man, its nice to see this kind of turnout...........


North Carolina is tallying their Early Voting numbers, and so far, NC Democrats are crushing the GOP with massive leads. Apparently, when you try to keep seniors, people of color, and poor people from voting — and NC Republicans passed one of the worst voter ID laws in America last year — those people and their allies get really angry and start turning out in droves. Thank you, Republicans. Early Voting began on October 15, and WNCN reports 386,411 voters — nearly 400,000 — have cast their ballots so far. Of those, a whopping 148,001 ballots came from registered Democrats, as opposed to a far less impressive 88,900 from registered Republicans.

"...That is the official figure, current through Sunday, provided by the North Carolina State Board of Elections and includes mail-in, military, one-stop and overseas votes. The [early voting] number represents a little more than 5 percent of the 6.6 million registered voters in North Carolina..."

In an update, WCNC reports Democrats have “long enjoyed an advantage in Early Voting,” but add that this year’s turnout is unusually high. Political science professor and analyst Dr. Michael Bitzer adds that, so far, year’s midterm election turnout feels more like what you’d see during a presidential election year.

“It does not feel like a traditional midterm election.It is eye-opening for Republicans in particular, and especially the Thom Tillis campaign, simply because this should a lean GOP year.”

Of course, Democrats need to get out the vote on Election Day before popping the corks off the champagne bottles. But so far, things look great for our side of the aisle.

1. That's kind of typical

Republicans don't vote early. They don't believe in it.

4. If Jebus wanted us to vote early

he'd have said so in plain English in the bible.

[yeoman6987]

5. I agree

Republicans never have voted early overwhelmingly. Why would 2014 be any different?

[blm]

12. Actually, Tillis camp was pushing them to vote early.

Check out his FB page.

16. Conservatives cant think or vote out of the box.

2. Rec'd-great to read!! nt

[Warpy]

3. McCrory and the goons in the lege might have screwed the pooch for the Republicans this year

but they'll be back. The preachers will make sure of it.

I will be shocked and delighted if Virginia Foxx is swept out of office by the prevailing (although temporary) disgust at Republicans, but I'm not holding my breath there. I know that part of the state all too well.

19. Don't forget Renee Ellmers and Walter Jones Jr.

NC's Republican congress-critters (with the very slightly possible exception of Howard Coble) are all fairly hideous, but those three take the cake.

23. I don't know if she had an opposition this year....But, she's

needed to be gone "long time ago." Hideous person.

A really Good Dem tried to knock her off with a Grass Roots Campaign last time she ran and I donated to him even though I'm not near her District. He was on the Progressive Dem e-mail list. That's how I found out about him. He wasn't successful but he sent me a personally written note with a real Postage Stamp "Thanking Me" for my contribution. You don't see much of that, anymore, unless you are a huge donor. I gave him only $50.00 and he took the time to do that.

I've read she has more money for her campaigns than any other Repub Candidate in NC. It figures.... She's always appearing with the Repub Leadership in Photo Ops which means she's got top influential backers since she comes from a very poor District in NC.

6. This is good news, we have the numbers on the side od Democrats, we can win.

They have played their trump card on voter id, we still have the numbers. Saw a report about the non citizens voting, it will be their next trick. The voters fraud I have seem so far is Republicans, guess it is okay for them to commit fraud. Go, NC. Great news

7. K & R !!!

8. May this keep up the Momentum! Mahalo Segami~

9. KnR

Vote 2014!

[blm]

10. 5 days of working the polls - all sun and asphalt - sunburned, happy, energized.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

[Hekate]

11. Excellent news!

Fingers crossed that the vote counting is honest, if you know what I mean. Good news, though. Thanks

[muriel_volestrangler]

13. I'm amazed they give out those numbers

It seems to me to have potential both for breaking the secrecy of the ballot, and to influence the ongoing voting. Why is there are rule about not publishing exit polls until voting has closed in the area they're from, when information like this gives the same kind of idea?

[bigdarryl]

14. Any news on the Independent votes

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. I asked about turnout locally (Vegas) and they say it's high for a midterm.

[blkmusclmachine]

17. You have to beat the (R) Candidate, AND the secret black box vote "counting" machines that are owned

by Corporations with a 1%'ers agenda.

[wheniwasincongress]

18. The graphic is misleading

Every other is a woman

[Historic NY]

20. Better keep it up.

[littlemissmartypants]

21. Women are coming. eom

[KoKo]

22. Thanks...Observation in my area for Early Vote location, Sunday, was that

for a Mid-Term the crowds were large.

[appalachiablue]

24. Terrific news, so glad to hear this. Thanks. Go North Carolina!

The graphic is cool.

[jimlup]

25. God I hope the news on election day follows...

I'm so fucking sick of the Repubicans and I'm shocked that so many Americans are suckering for their stupidity this election cycle.

Sorry, I feel just a little better now. Thanks - just needed to vent a bit.

[VanillaRhapsody]

26. Its what my grandmother always told me...When WE vote WE win...

we outnumber them by a long shot...that is why big turnouts favor us.....all we have to do is SHOW UP!!!

[Triana]

27. Voted early there today. Place was busy busy busy! I was happy to see it. n/t

[littlewolf]

28. we voted on the 2nd day of early voting

and at 9:00 am there were 777 votes.
and we live in a small area.
District 1. Congressman Butterfield.

29. Good news from NC

I hope it continues to go well for the Democrats. I spent a large part of my life in NC, and I hate the way the Greedy Bastard RepubliCons have screwed the people and worked hard to make it a Koch-sucking tea party mess. Keep working diligently Dems!

[Recursion]

30. This is why spending leads are so important

NC is one race we seem to be staking the bank on.
