WASHINGTON — Early voting numbers in Virginia are dramatically higher compared with the 2012 general election.

I don’t think that this is a bad sign for Trump. Lots of people will be voting for Hillary, to be sure, especially in Northern Virginia. However, there are very few Hillary voters who are enthusiastic about her. People who are not enthusiastic don’t generally vote early. Of course there are exceptions to this, however I will stick by my first statement that this can’t be bad for Trump.

Yeah, it could be Trump voters wishing to avoid the intimidation factor. It could be ramped up early voting by both parties. It could be voter fraud.

I’ve read on Townhall that Trump is giving up on VA.

More voting than normal is a prediction made by the "monster vote" hypothesis. However there are of course other possible explanations as well.

Trump is not giving up on VA. Pence was here yesterday or the day before and he’s running ads on all stations....and I’m in No. VA.

These are all very left wing areas. Not good in my estimation.

We’ll find out soon enough.

Being in No. VA, what do you think this article implies beyond just more early voters?

The cities of Fairfax, Falls Church and Alexandria, and Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties are all Northern Virginia DemocRAT strongholds. The rest in that chart less so. Will be interesting to see what those early voting results will be.

Pence just went to VA. Also, read that the Virginia campaign indicated that they were not cutting back in VA.

You raise an interesting point .... why no data on Central and Southern VA? Why only data from Beirut on the Potomac?

I live in VA and did not know we had early voting until about a week ago.
