Nov 2012

Voter registration now stands at:

Democratic: 2,861,950 Republican: 2,047,916 Libertarian: 19,066 Unaffiliated: 1,702,972 Total: 6,631,904

ftp://www.app.sboe.state.nc.us/enrs/absentee11xx06xx2012_Stats.pdf

The difference between yesterday and today's numbers:

Democratic: +2875 Republican: +1692 Libertarian: +94 Unaffiliated: 1238 Total: 5899

Broken out as a % of new registrations: Democratic: 48.7% Republican 28.7% Libertarian 1.6% Unaffiliated 21%

So the Dems continue the streak of outregistering new voters by a margin of 1.7 to 1 over Republicans.

A total of 396,087 MORE DEMS have cast a ballot than Repubs.
