Things are not looking good in the early voting in North Carolina. For whatever reason, Republican absentee ballot requests and returns are down significantly from 2012. Also, yesterday was the first day of in-person early voting, and the Democrats were well ahead of Republicans, 85K to 39K.
Can anyone explain what is going on in North Carolina? I know many Democrats there are old-time conservative Democrats, but I would like to see the numbers for Republicans go up.
Never heard of 27 to Win. Who runs this site? Very fishy.
No, but in ‘76 he bussed “extra” voters into Mississippi. Stole it from Ford.
Thank you. I was depressed until I read your post.
I’ve never been made to vote provisionally. The poll workers actually know me, because I vote in nearly every election, and I have an unusual address.
My 86 year old father in NC voted absentee ballot for Trump on his death bed and died three days later. So if any of you lazy Trump supporters out there have not voted than get out there!
I wore my hillary for prison shirt to the fair last Sat. As for my expectations, I figured negative. But, ALL the reactions were to the POSITIVE! There were lots of distant thumbs up & smiles while pointing. I spoke to well over 100 random fairgoers. Many talked about how they are converting their freinds. Many talked about how the witch is giving away OUR country. Time to say NO MORE! The witches evil is really beginning to seep out. She’s melting...
Trump
Pence

Proof the east and west cost states are fly over zones low and no informed critters.
I agree that making someone vote provisionally is not widespread, but they are getting bolder and bolder.
The FBI has not even addressed the James O’Keefe tapes. Is the FBI even going to investigate?
I’ve been a poll watcher and a poll worker just to see how it is done. My spouse also poll watched and ran into various incidents. Not doing it this time though.
We live in Durham which is a Democratic county, so there will be more problems here than other areas of the state. Easier to get away with it in Dem counties.
One other thing about NC is that we do have a paper trail in case an election is contested. The ballots are counted and should be the same number as the digital number. This still allows for software/hardware sabotage, but the paper trail helps.
Some states do not keep a paper trail.
...And laughable.
I had a similar experience wearing my Proudly Deplorable shirt around the farmers market and just running. Those opposed said nothing but I got a lot of positive comments waves and nods.
We will stay around town this weekend and will wear our shirts again...
Decided to try again. Waited this time. Took less than 30 minutes including parking.
Lots of Dems. You can tell by who takes the campaign literature from the Democratic volunteers, but this is Durham so expected.
paper is easy to cheat.
The first person is a throwaway vote and comes out with the paper ballot.
The fixer fills in the paper ballot.
The next person takes in the filled paper ballot, votes via scan and brings out their blank paper ballot.
The fixer pays for the blank ballot and the process repeats.
