Lee County, FL (This seems to look really good for GOP)

This is from the Ft. Myers News-Press, but we can't post the article because of a "copyright complaint."

Here are the numbers:

400,000 voters; 260,000 left to vote Tues.

142,100 early votes (64,000 early, 75,600 absentee) (35%): of the 64,000 early votes, Dems=26,800, Rs=25,180

2004: 32,300 early 29,600 absentee requested)—more than a 50% increase since 04

As I read this, the "earlies" have Obama up by 1600 with 75,000 absentees out and 260,000 left to vote in a county Bush won by 21% in 2004????

If you assume 40% of the turnout is the early vote, and give the indies even split McCain is on pace for a 57,000 vote victory, 6000 more than Bush.

If it 33% like people think is the early vote then we can be looking at a 67000 vote lead of McCain.

Good. Call everyone you know, remind the McCain supporters to vote, assure the Obamanuts that he has won and you give up. If they insist on voting anyhow, tell them about the secret VIP no line voting Wednesday. :)

24,000 lead for Reps in absentee ballots

Are absentees counted in the first count or only if there is a close vote in the earlies + election day voters?

[Paul8148]

Absteene ballots are alreadsy counted. They ususally count them and early vote durning tuesday and release them first.
