In addition to the numbers posted this morning, a few later additions: Cuyahoga (heavily Dem Cleveland) county is STILL underperforming, coming in at 6% under 2008 levels.
Hamilton (Cincinnati) is just under 2:1 Rs, a net gain of just under 7 points for the Republicans over 08.
Franklin (Columbus) which went for Obama by 21(!) shows a very small but steadily increasing R lead in total votes (+5893) for a significant swing (+9 over 08 absentees, +26 overall for Rs).
Summit: important county near Cleveland, 1/4m voters, went for Obama by almost 18 points: Rs only 1300 back in total votes, or 5% difference (in 08 they lost by almost three to one).
Hardin: GOP had a 1400-1100 lead in 08. It's already three to one Rs, and about one third of total GOP ballots are in. Dems down in total requests by 2500 (!)
Logan: no 2008 data (McCain won by 26.5) Rs up four to one.
Pickaway: Rs up almost two to one---lost by 1000 absentee votes in 08 but went overall for McCain by 21.5.
Washington: Rs up two to one, absentees in 08 were three to two (McCain won by 15.5).

I am going to call over to the Virginia Board of Elections on Monday to see if they have any statistics on absentee ballot requests for both 2012 and 2008. If I can track them down, we can create a similar chart for Virginia.
I usually hang upon them...I did ask one why I should bother answering her questions, since her outfit was going to publish whatever results they choose to pull out of their ***. I know others that aren't being 'truthful' with pollsters.

What makes you think Rasmussen is off?
Saw Hendrix live twice. First time, just after he quit the Monkees tour, he was unreal. Never saw, or heard, anyone like him. Second time, a year later,, Vanilla Fudge opened for him and blew him off the stage. People were screaming for the Fudge 10 minutes into Hendrix’s set. He was drugged out, couldn’t tune his guitar, was uninspired. Too bad.
please add The Old Lady to the list
Please add me to the ping list.
I’m looking over the NC numbers and something I’ve just noticed is that the indy votes are overwhelmingly coming from the newly-gerrymandered, likely-Republican congressional districts.
Wake County (Raleigh) has been dragging its feet in reporting. Several small Dem counties in the east haven’t reported yet, as well as mid-sized Dem hell hole Durham County. Same with some strongly GOP counties such as Johnston & Rowan (mid-size) and Mitchell (small).
It will be interesting to see how it shakes out once they’re reporting.
Added.
Yes, the 26ers, Jimi, Janice, and Jim, were self-destructive as all get out. It was a terrible shame for them to lose their lives to that when they should be elder statesmen of Rock and Roll with grandchildren right now.
What’s your take on the Iowa numbers? Seems really odd even if we assume the state is going to go deep blue. Could those be partial stats that are mainly from Eastern counties? Obama won Iowa by 9% last time.
