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.

Why doesn’t the headline read, “Democrats Outnumber Republicans in Early Voting”?
‘Why doesn’t the headline read, “Democrats Outnumber Republicans in Early Voting”?’
True, but not nearly as much as in 2008, and higher returns than in 2004, and Rs plus Is outweight the Ds. In any case, I just copied the headline.
“Could the intent behind this report be that the white guys are coming in droves, so the rest of you can stay home?”
Sure, but we won’t buy it, nor do that!
‘Seat the 300’. We need 122.
I don't think there was any "early voting" back then, though, except via absentee ballots. "Early voting" should be abandoned because it increases the potential degree of fraud.
No more Democrap supermajority , for starters. No Capn Trade, no more Check card, no more friendly legislation, period. The cowardly Pubbies can sit on their ass on the sidelines, for all I care, until 2012.
“Well I’ve never thought of Italians (or Greeks or Spaniards, etc) as anything but white, but who knows what the MSM would say?”
Well the point is none of us is ‘white’ and we’re all different shades. But the MSM couldn’t care less about the facts/about reality...
“Then it was “angry white men” who turned out - while the overall turnout was reported as “low” - to enable the GOP to wrest control of Congress.”
I detest the lame stream media!
6 AM on election day is early enough for me.
I think everyone here on FR does.
I have not received anything from him and until my husband read about him in the NRA magazine today we did not even know Butterfield had a challenger. We live in the district and are active in the county GOP. No signs, not anything.
Maybe, I pray it will be so.
This is an interesting letter to editor in an OH paper

I think that elections should be held on Election Day, not before. Everyone should vote while being privy to all the information that comes to light by Election Day.
The voter roll lists the voter’s race/ethnicity in NC.
Woolard is a solid conservative, from everything I’ve read. I don’t know if he’s an organizer, but I seem to recall seeing his name as a speaker.
