Early Voting Results: Republicans Up Big

Republicans are expected to make historical gains this election cycle, and early voting seems to completely back that up. Across the country, GOP turnout is near or over historical levels, while Democrat turnout is well below.

In response to the massive turnout, Daniel Conston, a member of the Florida GOP, stated, "Incredibly, we are also leading early voting so far, the first time that has ever happened [in Florida]. We don't expect to win early voting, but any lead at all is shocking at this point and a testament to the incredible enthusiasm amongst Republicans."

While Republican turnout is over Democrat's in over a dozen states, Democrats are saying that they are keeping up with Republicans because they have higher turnout in... several states. Ohio Democratic Coordinated Campaign's Lauren Groh-Wargo touted Democratic turnout, saying, "We are expanding the electorate in this midterm election, and Republicans are not."

Looks like a landslide in the making

My only concern with heavy early Republican voting is the fact it tells the libs how many they need to forge.

[unixfox]

Word is in Texas that early voting has more than doubled this election than last.

Let's hand them their asses in a hat!

[pennyfarmer]

I worried about who is counting?

They have the graveyard vote nailed down.

That was the problem when Timmy called it for Gore...Time had passed. Repubs lost their get up and go to the polls.

I don't think we should have ANY earlyt voting numbers broadcast early....they are "instructive"...not constructive.

Obie's probably on the phone....trying to get more buses, cigarettes, beer and.......coke on the move.

Early voting has always been a vote fraud advantage for the Dem’s...because they have no qualms with the dishonesty.

Arizona- 44% of votes cast were by Republicans, 34% by Democrats
Colorado- 42% of votes cast were by Republicans, 37% by Democrats
Florida- 53% of votes cast were by Republicans, 34% by Democrats
Georgia- 58% of votes cast were by Republicans, 26% by Democrats
Maine- Both tie with 37%
Michigan- 35% of votes cast were by Republicans, 18% by Democrats
Nevada- 43% of votes cast were by Republicans, 42% by Democrats
New Mexico- 47% of votes cast were by Republicans, 44% by Democrats
Pennsylvania- 56% of votes cast were by Republicans, 37% by Democrats
Washington- 38.8% of votes cast were by Republicans, 38.5% by Democrats

Yet even in the states where Republicans have not casted as many votes as Democrats, the GOPers are still voting more (percentage-wise) than their Democratic counterparts. For example, 32% of voters in Oregon are Republicans, yet 38% of the ballots cast have been by the GOP. In fact, the states that have higher turnout-than-registration for Republicans are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and West Virginia.

Early voting, motor votor and every other voting fraud scam needs to be abolished.

[TexasTransplant]

As best as I can surmise they are basing the numbers on how many of a party that have voted so far. Not all states register votes by party thus they can’t determine the number of voters per party in them. Texas is an example where you register but don’t declare a party when registering.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Pennsylvania does not have early voting. Where did you get this list? All you can do in Pennsy, is to ask for an absentee ballot which are not opened until election day.

[RightFighter]

Early voting sucks and should be eliminated, along with open primaries.

[Nuc 1.1]

Thanks FReeper. I can’t wait until Nov 2.

[I still care]

And I can tell you lots of registered Dems are so unhappy with Obama they are not voting Dem this year.

Obama has given the republicans a great gift. He has finally convinced many of the old guard Dems that they really HAVE morphed into socialists, something that many old folks argued with me many times.

“The Democrats are for the working people!” But Obama’s showed them that lie.

Photo ID to vote. No exceptions.

Coincidentally, we’ve got a good crop of conservatives to vote for this year. I didn’t have to hold my nose on any of them. You know, maybe it’s not a coincidence. Maybe we want to vote for actual conservatives, not Republicans who campaign conservative.
