No, no one is “counting” votes, but what we are counting is absentee ballot/early ballot requests by party affiliation. I for one assume that no Ds vote for Romney and no Rs vote for Obama and a 50/50 split among Is (which is probably way low and could easily be close to 2:1 Romney).
I understand what you are doing...but the author of the article makes it sound like in early voting Obama is up. He can’t know that, they aren’t counting votes yet. But when did truth ever get in the way of a partisan article.
