*According to the county early voting reports, 1,016,275 Floridians have voted early in Florida as of 5:00 a.m. Monday, October 27, 2008.

You can also download county by county reports, even check to make sure your vote counted in that county.

That figure does not include absentee ballots.

7. Thanks Doug..rougly 6-8 percent of FLA electorate..

[ddeclue]

9. 8.33% of electorate has EV'd..

Perhaps half as many have ABV'd if history is any guide. Overall approximately 10 to 12.5% of the available voters have already voted either EV or ABV at this point. I had been thinking a year ago that 75% would be the turnout, now a lot of knowledgeable people are saying FL will approach 90%. I don't about that given the number of dead people and moved out of state people the state retains on the rolls but I would guess that 80% would be possible.

5. 1 million voted in NC so far - out of 6.2 million registered voters

early voting has been heavy here.

Dems are the majority of early voters, but I suspect GOP are using absentee ballots by mail, so
its hard to predict NC

[Thrill]

8. One million already in NC too. We have early voting booths on College Campuses

McCain is in trouble here

10. Nice start, but one million votes isn't as much as it used to be.

11. Is there any word on vote tallies? Or do they not release those

Till election day?

[endthewar]

13. They don't count any votes until election day

However, you can look at things like % Democrat vs. Republican ballots, % blacks voted, etc. to get an idea of how the votes are going.
