Fox is saying democrat turnout is higher so far, in swing states especially. What gives?

Granted, Fox they are just counting registered democrats, not necessarily who they voted for...

Do they tally the votes as they come in, when the state has “early voting”. We have all vote by mail, with a two week voting period, but they don’t actually tally the votes until after the election closes. They do keep a running tab of registered voters with party affiliation and they provide that list to the parties as the ballots are received, so that the parties can hound the voters to return the ballot, but they have no idea if the Democrats actually voted for the Democrat candidate.

That's because in swing states when you vote for Romney, it comes up for Obama.

They may be higher then the GOP but they are still way underperforming 2008.

In Col. I read that the GOP actually beat the Democrat EV.
