In reply to the discussion: NC FACTS--not pundit BS or pollster malarkey--Look at the numbers--FINAL UPDATE #10 [View all]mnhtnbb
(33,071 posts)Continuing to watch the early voting numbers here is the latest from the NC Board of Elections
Voter Registration as of 10/27/2012 Democratic: 2,849,579 Republican: 2,040,489 Libertarian: 18,681 Unaffiliated: 1,697,632 Total: 6,606,381
Here is the difference between the numbers yesterday 10/26/2012 and today 10/27/2012
Democratic: + 825 Republican: +383 Libertarian: +35 Unaffiliated: +317 Total: +1560
Broken out as a % of new registrations: Democratic 52.9% Republican 24.6% Libertarian 2.2% Unaffiliated 20.3%
Even though raw numbers of new voters declined significantly yesterday, Democrats continue to lead new registrations (and votes at early voting) by more than a 2 to 1 margin over Republicans.
The actual numbers of votes has not yet been updated on the NC Board of Elections page and I will post those when they are available.
Early voting will be affected slightly--but mostly in Republican counties--by the Tropical Storm Sandy with closure of some early voting locations today and tomorrow.

If the coastal area gets slammed with wind and rain causing flooding, it's possible that there will be voters who will never get to the polls....but again may disproportionately affect Republican voters.
All in all...early voting looks to be going extremely well with high turnout and continuing better numbers of new Democratic registered voters than Republicans.
We're going BLUE in NC!!!!
GOTV!
