More Democrats are casting their ballots early but the lead may not hold.
The Democrats' early lead in early voting in battleground states is a strong indication that Hillary Clinton will become the nation's 45th president. Unless it isn't.
Early voting has begun in 37 states and the District of Columbia (three of those states have an all-mail election) and tabulations so far show that there are more ballots delivered or returned by registered Democrats than Republicans in key states. That's good news for the Clinton campaign, but not necessary definitive, experts say, since the early numbers are as much an indicator of the kind of person who votes early, as opposed to how much statewide support each contender has.
In North Carolina, for example, Republicans started out with an early advantage with the mail-in vote. That's not surprising, election experts say, since Republican early voters are more likely than their Democratic counterparts to mail it in, instead of showing up at a polling place with an early ballot in hand. Once in-person early voting started last Thursday, Democrats took a commanding lead, jumping to a 14 percentage-point lead over Republicans, according to an analysis by University of Florida professor Michael McDonald, who heads the United States Election Project.
That sounds like an optimistic turn for Democrats – until one looks at the 2012 numbers, when Democrats out-numbered Republicans strongly in early voting but the Tar Heel State went to GOP nominee Mitt Romney anyway.

We’re told its a D +6 to D +9 electorate.
Early voting numbers already indicate its far from 2012.
Polls are way off.
Early voting is when it’s easiest for them to cheat.
Fewer Democrats are turning out than in 2012.
The levels of enthusiasm that won the race twice for Obama aren’t in evidence yet.
Commit the votes now as insurance against a truly awful revelation.
If the electorate is D +6, it should be all over the news.
Ds should be surging enmasse to the polls to make Hlllary the 45th President.
Or a terrorist attack.
The presshole backpedalling and dissembling begins.
Yeah, and how many of them are voting for Trump? LOL
Kitty litter box filler material.
Monmouth is laughable - Hillary has a 10 point advantage in a state with an R +5 registration?
Hillary isn’t going to win AZ.
They lie.
About everything - about their rigged polls, their candidate’s popularity and early vote stats.
You can’t believe anything they tell you to be the truth.
People who vote early tend to be regular voters, not the new voters that Trump woke up. They will vote when election day comes unless they have a hunting trip planned.
The fact that Hillary has to get Jay-Z to do a Get out the Vote concert to get blacks to the polls isn’t a good sign for her.
Mitt had Kid Rock.
Guess who people really turned out to see.
When was that pic taken?
Yup. Forgot about that. I just think if Hillary has to work this hard and late in the campaign to get black voters to the polls indicates a big problem for her!
I object to early voting and mail in unless absolutely needed. If you are too lazy to go vote on election day you shouldn’t vote.
And the 3 that have all mail in are dem states. There is too much opportunity for fraud
