EV is early voting.
I’m stunned that 80,000 already voted early.
That’s more than will vote today.
There is one precinct that the GOP is suing to open for 1.5 hrs extended because the wrong voting location was given and 1 in 5 voters were going there. Needless to say, heavy GOP.
I voted in NC9 at 4:30pm and was vote #462 (heavy voting), and in a 20% black 70% white neighborhood it was all older whites. This was west Union county.
If the EV votes are 1/2 2018, I don’t see how McCready wins this easily.
What the early vote means?
The numbers are just who did absentee early voting. Not results. Results will be released when polls close. Expect early voting to show the Dem in the lead. More dems voted early than reps. 39-33%.
So 73% of early voters were Whites. Similar to past 2 elections (72% and 71%).
The total number of early voters is down significantly from 2016 and 2018. Some early voting locations were closed because of hurricane Dorian. That is part of the reason, but mostly likely it means total voting for this special election will be down. Expect low voter turnout over all.
We voted today, too. At my voting site, I was #36 voter at noon.
I think they’ll get 100 for the whole day.

I suspect that both interest in media and this vote will show how much the Russiagate collapse hurts Dems. People had hitched everything tonthat and now have walked away disappointed.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to know anything. Just listen to or read what MSNBC has to say and you will know all you need. Republicans are bad, the Democrats are good. Trump is evil. McReady will win
“Russiagate collapse hurts Dems”
Good point!
For reference......
My gut says R win with low ev turnout. We shall see soon.
I’ll predict Bishop by 3 points.
