Early voting in NC outpaces 2008 turnout

18. Actually, this is good.

Look at the North Carolina numbers. Those mail in ballots mean very little. The numbers from early voting today mean a lot. Look at the present registration numbers on the Democratic side. The Democrats have an 800,000 registration lead on the Republicans and it is increasing by the day. Voters can also register on site. The Republicans would need a lot of unafiliated votes just to make up that deficit. what the Dems need to do is get their voters to the Polls. If they get above 70 percent or more, Romney is toast. A lot of Democrats still didn't vote in 2008 or Obama could have won by a larger margin in North Carolina. So if he is keeping people in North Carolina, it is to get people out to the Polls. There is no way Romney can keep up. he doesn't have enough registered voters on the rolls.

Wake County is a Democratic stronghold. Here is the registration in Wake County:

Dems Repubs Blacks
260,811 187,999 134,851


2008
252,985 184,318 120,519

That is the difference between 2012 and 2008 on November six. Note the increase in African American registration. That is over 14,000 more votes in just that one county. So if the lines were heavy in Wake County, that is a good sign. I heard the lines were long in Mecklenberg County also which is around Charlotte. That is even a heavier Democratic vote.
