Absentee Ballot - REPs led by 79,000

In-Person Early Voting - DEMs led by 247,000

Combined Early voting - DEMs led by 168,000

2016 (ballots cast, not yet counted)

In-Person Early Voting - 0

Combined Early voting - REPs lead by 20,613

Will be interesting to see the partisan breakdown once in-person early voting starts. In NC, they are having problems with African-American turnout so far in early voting.

It seems R absentee returns are picking up slightly (hurricane)?

Meanwhile with Hillsborough, with just 14 day left to receive ballots (right? Or 15)
Ds are very behind (end -50%?)

Good point.

I don’t believe many are putting much stock in the Axiom Strategies Battleground County poll. Not sure why as it seems very accurate and Trump has been showing between a 1% - 3% lead in Hillsborough County.

For Hillsborough, remember the 20,000 vote lead DEMs had in 2012 was for combined in-person early voting plus absentee voting.

In-person early voting is just starting, so have to wait to see how Hillsborough compares to 2012.

Anxiously awaiting good news from early voting.
Meanwhile...

here’s a vid of the line at today’s Trump rally 6 HOURS before it starts:

Why on Earth would hundreds of people arrive 6 hours before the rally?
Enthusiasm.

“I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny”

I visited the Jefferson Memorial in DC a number of years ago. Sadly, at least when I was there, not many other people were there. It seemed to me, one of the lesser tourist sites. Too bad.

AA turnout in Ohio also down during absentee voting. From 10% in 2012 to 7% in 2016.

So far, in Florida, last I saw was 8% in 2012 and 8% in 2016 for absentee voting. Whites down slightly and Hispanics up slightly.

A Freeper far wiser than I expects a Trump win, with the big story being the strong Trump AA turnout.

I figure that there will be less blacks voting than in '08/'12, and more of them will be voting for Trump. Thus giving Trump a bigger piece of a smaller pie.

Just kinda interesting that all Hillsborough numbers are +/- 5,000 votes to the dems. Just interesting.

I join Wpin in thanking SpeedyInTexas for spending time to post early voting results. It's good to compare early voting in 2016 to early voting in 2012. I trust early voting guesses (because they only count registrations) over many opinion polls.

Hearing on Twitter that Cankles has pulled ads and staff from NC and FL (!!) and has redirected everything to PA.

From yesterday, according to Election Smith:

“Absentee ballots cast in 2012 GE at this time, 80% by Whites, 9% by Hispanics, 8% by blacks. Thru 10/22/2016, the %s are:
76% W
12% H
8% B”

I think the 8% turnout data is later than the 6.2% number.

This jives with what I've seen in the Philly market. Wall-to-wall ads on radio and TV, interspersed with some Trump ads. They are concerned, I think.

The one takeaway from all the early voting numbers out of Iowa, Ohio, NC, Florida - THERE IS NO CLINTON POPULAR VOTE LANDSLIDE. No 12 point margin as ABC says. The vote is looking close.

There could be an electoral vote landslide, IF all the swing states break for one candidate.

Right now, this election can still be won by Trump. The main problem I see for Trump right now, is winning Iowa, Ohio, NC, Florida puts him around 260 electoral votes.

He will need 10 more. That is where PA, CO, NV, NH comes in. I personally think his best shot, is to win the working class vote in PA with decreased AA turnout.
