WASHINGTON — The millions of votes that have been cast already in the U.S. presidential election point to an advantage for Hillary Clinton in critical battleground states, as well as signs of strength in traditionally Republican territory.
The strong early-voting turnout by those likely to support Clinton – registered Democrats, minorities, and young people among others – could leave Donald Trump with virtually no path to the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.
Clinton is showing strength in Florida and North Carolina, both must-win states for Trump, as well as the battleground states of Nevada, Colorado and Arizona. There are even favorable signs for Clinton in Republican-leaning Utah and Texas.
“It’s going to be a very tall order for Trump to win,” said Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor who specializes in election turnout. Other analysts also point to a strong finish for Clinton based on the early vote.
Early voting, via mail or in-person, is underway in 37 states. More than 12.5 million votes have been cast, far higher than the rate in 2012, according to Associated Press data. In all, more than 46 million people -or as much as 40 percent of the electorate – are expected to vote before Election Day, Nov. 8.

COUGH BS COUGH BS
AP story, so total BS
Yeah, and in “Republican leaning” Texas we’ve already had a few reports of voting machines changing votes to favor Hillary....
Nice try.
I’ll wait for the fat lady.
Hear that Hillary supporters? (all 20 of you)
It’s already in the bag. You don’t need to vote.
Umm...are these people crazy to think that Hillary has a chance in Utah and/or Texas? This is such horse crap.
I thought the R’s had better turnout thus far in both FL and NC as well?
A NY paper predicts for hillary.
Wow, what a shocker...
NOT.
Anyone recall those precincts that were 100% Obama?
Communist agitprop.
Not one bit if this is based on actual votes cast for a particular candidate. They are all speculations about party registrations (for those states that classify them in general elections). My state doesn’t have Democrat or Republican voters - they are all just ‘registered voters’ in an election, and I seriously effing doubt any damned journalist has gone to the trouble to collate names of votes cast early with those on the registered roles and checked their primary voting proclivities. This is all horseshit.
What do you expect from the New York Post?
They are going to manipulate data and claim that Hillary won all the way from now until Trump is inaugurated.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Let me guess, I bet that stories like these were written at about this time in 1980.
Bull
Sh!t
Like clockwork, the media declares her the winner whenever Trumps poll numbers rise. So boringly predictable.
What? Have they seen the ballots?
Ignore all media
Get Out The Vote
