More please
To what race(s) does this apply? The Dem advantage still sounds hard to beat...
My wife and I both fall into the “unaffiliated” category too....
Bump
Trump won NC despite the Rat vote advantage.
NC isnt as Blue as VA and it went Democrat only once... in 2008.
Impressive so far
So far the early voting numbers from most everywhere are not just good . . . I think they're almost unbelievably good. Fingers crossed, and of course vote early and often. But (whispering now), Ravi, wouldn't you agree?
One of the issues on the ballot is the requirement for a photo Voter ID. I suspect that will get a lot of support except in the Democrat areas.
At least in our county they have gotten rid of those horrid electronic voting machines which are so easy to rig. We are doing paper ballots again with an OCR reader at the end where you insert your ballot when you leave. That is a big step in the right direction. It also makes the voting go a lot faster.
Now we NEED the Voter ID...
IMHO some Republicans were not sure of Trump in 2016. Now that they have seen him in action I think more are warming up to him. Even some never-Trumpers. Of course the Bill Krystal types never will.
Don’t worry... Durham will keep the polls open extra hours until they get the extra Dem votes they need.. (again)
Too early. The polls just opened a couple of days ago.
Tennessee and Florida also. This TREND among southern states (don’t have much data for elsewhere) seem to indicate that in TN, FL AND NC
Republicans are doing (sometimes significantly) better than in 2016, and democrats are doing slightly worse.
This is good news for Republicans, In these states, the trend is for Indies to usually go Republican.
Well actually all three went down, but since the Democrat count down much further it raised the percentage up for Republicans. But it definitely shows that the much ballyhooed Blue Wave so far is not showing itself. But I will not rejoice yet, and no one else should either. Just get out & vote.
My husband and I voted this past Thursday in NC. We are unaffiliated.
