"Just like in 2012, at the moment, the Democrats hold a clear advantage over the Republicans in North Carolina. According to the North Carolina Board of Elections, as of October 22nd, 2.7 million Democrats have voted in North Carolina compared to 2.1 million Republicans. About 31,000 Libertarians have voted, and another two million people have voted who are not affiliated with any party."
Wiki says NC has a total 10 million population. Assuming 3 days from 10/22 added say 200,000 and they've got 70% of the entire state already having voted.
Nationally, a 2012 PEW study has 43% never registered or lapsed (2008) plus they must have 10% less than 18 - non-voters. In 2012 (Obama/Romney) the total vote, per this article, was 4.6 million. Almost three million more voters have already voted?
Any thoughts?
Actually nevermind - my only thought is this is a DEM article to push for DEM votes by making the race look close and there are more registered DEMS in NC ... glad that others picked up on the strange numbers. Kudos.]
Replace “voted” with “registered” and it might make more sense.
