The largest group of early voters in North Carolina is made up of white Republican men, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Democracy North Carolina, a campaign watchdog group.
During the 2008 Democratic sweep, black Democratic women led all groups during the 17 days of early voting. But during the first three days of early voting this year, it is white Republican men.
"Early voting doesn't favor one party or another, but reveals who's most organized and enthusiastic about making their voices heard," said Bob Hall, director of Democracy North Carolina.
So far early voting has been especially heavy for a midterm election. In the first three days of voting, 72,173 people across the state have cast early ballots.
That's more than the 70,645 votes that had been cast at this point in the 2004 presidential elections. At the same point in 2006, 35,728 votes had been cast. By comparison 266,649 votes were cast during the first three days of 2008.

I got a card in the mail from the Ashley Woolard campaign. Woolard is apparently the Republican challenger to G.K. Butterfield. What’s the scoop on Woolard? He’s young. Is he Tea Party or establishment?
If you want to claim racism you must mention colors as ofter as possible.
“Italians from Northern Italy (Milan) are typically fair skinned and quite frequently have blue eyes.”
My grandfather was from a little town in central Italy called Luca. My Mom does have blue eyes, as you suggest!
“Independents are up ever so slightly to fill in the gap.”
And also breaking GOP, as we all know. Good news all ‘round. Still, time to GOTV...;) You’ve been doing good work all year TQC. Go TEApublicans!!
Two powerful messages from TX-30 kids who were denied scholarships here: http://defeateddiebernice.com.
At this point, who cares? The right question to ask is "Is he CONSERVATIVE or not"? There are "establishment" politicians who are solid conservatives, btw, the Tea Parties don't have a lock on that by any means.
Not only do we have motor-voter, we have ‘one stop voting’. Under this democrat vote fraud wet dream, you can register and vote at the same time.
You have, obviously, never seen me then. The words “fish belly white” spring to mind, followed shortly by “Oh dear...” and “that just ain't right...”
I once knew what the sun looked like, back before I became a cubicle commando.
“They” can’t call us cracker - that’s racist. Only “we” can call each other cracker - then it’s a term of endearment.
As you like. So do you know the answer, either way?
Apparently black women were turning out heavily early in 2008 - and not so much this year. What happened to Barack Hussein’s magick tricks? I guess people are sick of lies and illusions, and would rather have a job and propsects for the future...go figure. We could have told everyone that last time ‘round if they’d only have listened...it’s not good to hire someone with a fake resume - especially not someone running for POTUS. Duh.
‘I prefer ‘cracker’, ‘white bread’, ‘honky’ or ‘mayonnaise monkey’.’
That is funny right there!
“Day 1 early voting in Dallas County, TX “crushed” the turnout records for all prior years. This county includes TX-30, where Pastor Stephen Broden (R) is challenging Eddie Bernice Johnson (D).”
Awesome. Prayers and best wishes for you all there!
Reform of these kinds of laws MUST be a high priority for Tea Parties nationwide going forward. I can't think of a higher good than preventing voter fraud which totally benefits the fraudulent RATs of course.
“The words “fish belly white” spring to mind, followed shortly by “Oh dear...” and “that just ain’t right...””
LOL!
Grab a piece of printer paper,
go to the restroom and look in the mirror,
hold the paper next to your face,
and tell me if you’re “white”.
Well, beat them with shovels until they stop!
Make them go home!
Could the intent behind this report be that the white guys are coming in droves, so the rest of you can stay home?
True enough. Though the numbers can't possibly show whether this is the case, I would suspect that even though the number of unaffiliated voters is staying roughly the same, this is likely because GOP-leaners are up, but Dem-leaners are down, mirroring the trend in voters with an actual partisan affiliation.
