One other quick NC nugget: 81.1% of early in-person voters voted in the 2016 General. Trying to find the party breakdown. Lots of cannibalization again.
FYI-——TargetSmart breaks down the “first time” voters in North Carolina. They model the “first time” voters as 44%/42% Democrat/Republican, which is quite a surprise. Probably a combination of Trump’s ground-game and the student drop-off. Shockingly, Republicans may win more first-time voters.
