With over 216,000 absentee ballots added on Halloween, North Carolina's absentee ballot pool is getting closer to two million ballots, with 95 percent of those having been accepted as votes for the November 8 general election, now a week away (and everyone say AMEN).
The total absentee ballots, by party registration and method of voting, stands at 1,970,525
This represents a nearly 8 percent increase from the same day in 2012.
In terms of party registration within the voting methods (both mail-in and in-person), the total ballots breaks down to 43 percent from registered Democrats, 31 percent from registered Republicans, and 25 percent from registered unaffiliated:

previous numbers were from exit polls. I got actuals from (http://www.elon.edu/docs/e-web/org/nccc/NCVoterTurnout2012PR.pdf)
Final result was 55% women 45% men.
So, he’s going to have to win the margin in men by 2-3% more than she wins the margin with women
I wonder how many folks in North Carolina are gonna discover next Tuesday that they already voted?
*****************
Good question but the in person early voting locations are staying busy as best as I can find.
Early voting totals as of 10-31-2016 per NC Election website is 1,757,602 votes.

Didn`t you used to tell ghost stories when you were a kid? For the most part it`s just innocent fun. Lighten up.
What’s with N Carolina?
The men need to get off their behinds!
Recent polls I’ve looked at have the gender gap larger with women for clinton than men for trump, so this looks like a problem. For example today’s IBD poll has 12% gap for women vs 11% for men.
We need a longer lifespan.
Women shortening men’s lives since Adam&Eve. :)
Brother’s got the right idea.
Just looked at a new elon poll (https://www.elon.edu/e/CmsFile/GetFile?FileID=694) from prior to FBI reopen (Oct 23-27) and the gender gap with women is down to 10% and up for men to 12%, so things are trending in the right direction.
This poll shows it a 42% to 41.2% lead for clinton, which is also trending in the right direction. Trump is also leading the undecideds by 8%, which would give trump another half point total
It also shows Burr leading 43.5% to 39.9%
Is there gonna be anybody voting next Tuesday?

Scroll down to NC. Females made up 56% early vote in 2012.
Most of that M/F discrepancy is Black females voting and Black males not voting.
Go to NC sos and click absentee stats.
I know right. Kinda interesting.
N Carolina is going to be a nail biter. Such a shame that demographics have changed there and Virginia to the extent that two reliable Pubbie states are in the process of slipping away. If not this cycle, soon.
That makes sense.
A significant 3-4 percent of white single women who normally vote Republican are voting against Trump. THis has to be made up for by a better turnout among men in NC and married women. The major plus is that African Americans are not turning out in the same numbers and are down 2-3 percent.
“N Carolina is going to be a nail biter. Such a shame that demographics have changed there and Virginia to the extent that two reliable Pubbie states are in the process of slipping away. If not this cycle, soon.”
Why do you say that?
Did you not see first comment on this thread that reps are up 6.4% and dems down 3.4% compared to same day 2012 totals in a state Romney won in 2012 (not incl Indy’s which all show Trump leading)?
Of course should never get complacent where dems and esp Hillary are involved but it seems things (so far) look very good for reps in NC

I DONT BELIEVE for one minute NC will be a nail biter they say early voting has Dems ahead HOWEVER they are NOT in anyway considering the Dems voting Trump or the indies, Trump has a YUGE advantage with the indies this cycle!!! NC LANDSLIDE Trump!!!!
Just by the polling which has us down at this time. While the early voting has some positives in it, I still think we win it, but only by a point or two. Hence a nail bitter because right after Florida and Ohio, it’s a must win.
“I DONT BELIEVE for one minute NC will be a nail biter they say early voting has Dems ahead HOWEVER they are NOT in anyway considering the Dems voting Trump or the indies, Trump has a YUGE advantage with the indies this cycle!!! NC LANDSLIDE Trump!!!!”
Not only that (dems voting Trump) but many don’t view with perspective / history. I.e. Dems ALWAYS win NC and Iowa early voting, the key is by how much. So the headline can always state “Dems lead early voting” but the story is in the details/ trends which the propaganda ministry is never interested in if it doesn’t suit their narrative.
Which is the whole point of this post that many on here seem to be losing the point of.
