Early voting suggests tight race in key states despite Clinton camp boast
Fox News ^ | Oct. 24, 2016 | Joseph Weber

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is touting some “eye-popping” advantages in early voting, in an apparent effort to energize Democratic voters, but preliminary figures suggest the race remains tighter than her aides acknowledge. The preliminary numbers appear to show Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, with an edge in several of the roughly 10 battleground states that will decide the 2016 White House race. “We're seeing eye-popping vote-by-mail application numbers,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said on “Fox News Sunday.”

In Arizona and North Carolina, for example, more registered Democrats than Republicans have indeed cast early ballots.

But such numbers are open to interpretation, including how many Democrats in those two states voted for Clinton. 

Meanwhile, early data shows Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump with potential advantages of his own in battleground states Florida, Ohio and elsewhere.

The fake narrative about “leading big” is backfiring on the Rats. The media is going to look foolish November 9th. Hopefully, this ends the MSM influence on future elections. HRC isn’t “winning”.....

Hey, troll-boy.

The poll which gave the Dem the 5% advantage in Arizona had a Dem +34% sample.

Chill out and eat a sammich.

Trump is going to win NC, and win the election.

These polls such as ABC and WaPo are going to go down in history for their unprecedented and brazen fraud.

The desperation must be EXTREME, because this is the type of last-ditch effort that CAN ONLY BE USED ONE TIME.

No one will ever believe any of these so-called “News” organizations ever again.

Yeah, that has me concerned, even though NC went Romney in 2012. Remember that guy from NC in 2012 boasting on his facebook about voting multiple times?

I lived in NC from 1997-2001. I was surprised at the large Mexican population in
Winston-Salem, where I lived

... suggest the race remains tighter than her aides acknowledge.

Yesterday, Hellary had this wrapped up; double-digit lead and was suspending her campaign.

Hillary/media campaign’s latest strategy is to ignore everything and throw victory parties.

She just lost Texas today and it isn’t even Halloween. One TV station already “called” TX for Trump based on early votes.

My guess is the big surprise of the night is that Trump will win Pennsylvania. The demographics of the state really work to his advantage. It is the second oldest state (not as many younger voters) and has a very large rural white population that has been hurt by trade agreements.

I grew up in PA and have family in PA, so I know the state well. Hillary is not going to get the African-American support that Obama received. Just a hunch on my part, but I think Trump carries PA.

I agree. I think a lot of our Monster Votes are Indies. It just makes sense, particularly for people who never voted before. Would they really sign up for the Paul Ryan Party or would they register as Independents? I’m betting the latter.

Why the hell have more dems cast ballots than republicans? This makes absolutely no sense.

It makes perfect sense if many of those Democrats are voting for Donald Trump.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

And 75% of indies will vote Trump.

I don't think indies are going to vote for Crazy Eyes Clinton.

You must see the HUGE crowds in Florida today for two Mr. T rally events. Feast your eyes on the St. Augustine motorcade video. 7000 outside the Tampa venue with 20,000 inside. Gave me chills. We are note alone...

From the twitter account of a CNN twit assigned to follow Mr. T:
