Maybe they’re voting on election day like you’re supposed to!
But Jimmah didn’t have the Soros Voting Machine Fraud System in his corner.
I agree that we need to wait for more data to come in, but so far, the results have been underwhelming on the Republican side in North Carolina. Maybe Republicans tend to want to wait until election day to vote?
It would be interesting to compare the in-person early vote with the in-person early vote in 2012 by day, see what the pattern is.
The democrats are at all the grocery stores, Walmarts and all big volume store entrances registering people to vote.
While they are very coy to not disclose who they are working for, they will make statements such as, “I’m for the female candidate and not the Green Party....” If they think you are a Hillary supporter.
My guess is that the non-dem applications end up in the trash..
Thank you for your comment.
Hopefully a lot of people are waiting to vote on election day. I am not early voting this year, although it is more convenient. I don’t want to give them any more chance of countering my vote based on early tallies.
Look at the graph on the link you provided, the Democrats are under-performing from 2012 on the first day of early voting. The Republicans looked to be doing about the same. I don’t think one day makes a trend one way or the other.
Democrats have always outnumberes pubbies in NC. They dont necessarily vote for dummycrats.
Thanks LS, I missed that part of the article. Lots of data flying around and I am trying to keep up. Looks like Republicans actually out-performed on the first day of early voting in comparison to 2012. That is encouraging since Romney won NC in 2012.
Almost not worth voting in NM. Still, I’ll do my civic duty.
Election Day is some distance in the future and the results are just starting to come in.
I don’t believe we should despair. There are polls out there indicating this will be a close race and few which show Trump running ahead.
The polls controlled by the Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, etc and colleges are all subject to manipulation, as all polls are.
The Wikileaks dumps demonstrate the degree of collusion between Clinton and the news media with respect to manipulating stories to kill Trump and to believe it not a similar situation with respect to polls would be naive.
“The total number of in-person early ballots is down 3 percent from the same day in 2012, while those from registered Democrats are down 11 percent, from registered Republicans down 7 percent, but up among registered unaffiliated voters by 28 percent.”
I am reading this the same way you are. Why is this being painted as a dire situation?
When I drove around NC, I couldn’t help but notice that outside of the big cities, the population density is low.
Yes, the cities, and I think especially the big colleges, have really changed the electoral balance from what used to be a conservative state to a purple 50-50 place, or at least close to it.
What was the source of this map?
I was looking at the raw numbers versus the comparison to 2012. Looking at the raw numbers of Dems versus Republicans was not making me feel confident. Once LS pointed out the comparison with 2012, I feel much more confident.
Sigh. Read the article: Dems are BEHIND 2012 numbers 11%, Rs only 3% behind 2012 ( all likely hurricane related)
Looks like a load of crap too. Kentucky a toss up? Arizona blue?
