Question? Have early votes actually been counted or are they assumed because voter affiliation? and what about the indies? How do they know how they voted.

No votes have been counted, its all a projection based on party affiliation. What the results do say is that dem early voting is way down from 08 though still ahead of pubbie early voting. This is not good news for the commie in chief.

No they have not been counted, they are just assumed that democrat ballots are for Obama and Republican votes are for Romney. Which historically has been pretty accurate as 90% tend to vote for their parties candidate. However, there was an interesting tidbit buried in yesterday's Washington Post Poll that showed Romney getting 97% of Republicans but Obama only getting 91% of democrats. If 3% of Republicans vote for Obama and 9% of democrats vote for Romney, then the early vote estimates may be overstating Obama's vote by 6%....
