An abbreviated version of today's posting: all North Carolina absentee ballots have hit over 1.7 million, with nearly 1.6 million accepted as early votes for the November 8 general election.
All Absentee Ballots:
The 1.7 million ballots, which accounts for all absentee ballots (mail-in and in-person) by sent date, represents a 6.8 percent increase over the same-day cumulative total from 2012's general election absentee voting period (1.59 million).
Total Early Votes: Registered Democrats are 4.2 percent behind their same day 2012 total numbers, while registered Republicans are 4.5 percent ahead of their numbers. Registered unaffiliated voters are 36.9 percent ahead of their same day all absentee ballot totals from 2012.
White voters are currently 72 percent of all absentee ballots cast, with black voters being 22 percent and all other races 6 percent. This represents a steady continuation of the trends that we have seen, with white voters over-performing their 2012 numbers and black voters under-performing their 2012 numbers.
While there are more ballots than four years ago, of the accepted in-person ballots so far, registered Democrats are slightly behind their 2012 same-day totals (down 4 percent), while registered Republicans are ahead (14 percent) and registered unaffiliated voters are well ahead (41 percent) of their same day numbers from four years ago.

“North Carolina Is the Real Bellwether State”
“Michael Bitzer, a political science professor at Catawba College in Salisbury who tracks this closely, estimates that early voting is up about 7 percent from four years ago, but so far Democrats are underperforming targets. The big jump from 2012 is among unaffiliated voters, which Bitzer says, are the “wild card” in these calculations.”

Go away troll.
Get out of here with your lies.
You’re so nasty, are you related to Hillary?
That is pure BS and they know it!!!
Are you a TROLL?
Good thing we’re looking at actual votes. Trump is way ahead of Romney on this front.
Yesssssss, I second that..:)
No, but you clearly are hoping for her to win.
No. It is not “oversampled.” It’s pure BS.
The questions they had posted that they asked.....
“Have you already voted in the election for President?”
“Who did you vote for President? Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton”
It wasn’t a weighted poll. It was a 100% random sampling. Sure they polled Chapel Hill and downtown Raleigh and the Charlotte city council.
She’s NOT going to win NC.
