Fox: Early voting breaking all records

Fox News Channel | 10/19/10

Per Fox, early voting up by more than 50% over 2008. Plurality of voters are white men. Fox projects a record-breaker. Early voting indicates Repubs are fired-up and Dems are lagging.

Plurality of voters are white men.

TWO THINGS HERE:

1. High turnout for Early Voting is a good indicator for our side. Conservatives and Tea Partiers have not been able to wait to for the day they can get to the voting booth. And......

2. The largest percentage of backers for Tea Party and Conservative Candidates is White men.

I hear a tsunami coming.

Several states have early voting TN is one of them. It accomodates those who are unable to vote on election day.

If you vote the way you post, that’s certainly true!

[Paradox]

White men? How do they know this? Do they exit poll early voting? Last time I voted early, no one was around looking like a pollster.

“Plurality of voters are white men.”

Prepare for media stories about “angry white men” just like in 1994. It is OK when other people show up to vote, but not for evil white men.

Let’s hope these early ballots are actually counted and not accidentally misplaced.

Ah, you noticed! LOL!!!

[concerned about politics]

unemployment of 10%+ to be announced three days after the election.

Mid October numbers? Why not report it now? It's important news.

WTF is “early voting”?

I always raise my eyebrows when I hear the term. I can understand absentee ballots for some circumstances. "Early voting," however, sounds like it's rife for fraudulent voting.

Early voting means also early polling data, early counting, and a better estimation of how much potential fraud must be employed to "catch up" in the votes. I don't care for it.

[BossLady]

The 10% unemployed (more like 20%) have nothing to do but vote..... ;)

[BikerJoe]

I’m going to vote several times. :)

Vote Early, Vote Often.

DELAWARE DOES NOT HAVE EARLY VOTING: Read Below.

Early Voting in DELAWARE
It is not permitted in this state to vote in person before Election Day.

A qualified voter may vote by mail if he will be out of town on Election Day, is physically disabled or ill, is performing public service for the state or nation, the tenets of his religion prevent him from voting that day, or he is incarcerated for a non-felony crime. The voter must complete a separate Affidavit for Absentee Voting for the primary and general elections. Depending on the reason given for voting absentee, the voter's signature on the ballot may have to be notarized. Ballots must be returned to the Department of Elections in the county where the voter resides no later than Election Day.

Good news for O'Donnell...Bad news for Coons

OK, where was that phrase first heard in campaigning?

No Googling!

[ScottinVA]

I can almost hear the buses starting in E. StL...

Are the cartons of Newports flying off the 7-11 shelves over there?

[Kolb]

Cast my ballot during early voting on Monday morning right before work. Surfin’ the Tsunami!

“Early voting means also early polling data, early counting, and a better estimation of how much potential fraud must be employed to “catch up” in the votes. I don’t care for it.”

I agree.

[fortheDeclaration]

Agreed. I find it amazing that while the House is lost to the Democrats, these Senate races are still considered to be so close.

The voters are going to vote GOP this year in a big way and that includes the Senate.

I am wondering how realistic these Senate polls really are.

[fortheDeclaration]

I hope you are joking because that is wrong, no matter who does it.

[excopconservative]

The turnout and enthusiasm difference is why the polls mean nothing. We can win elections where we are down as much as 12 to 15 points in polls if we turn out and they don’t.
