More North Carolina numbers are starting to roll in, interesting breakdown here. First column is “normal” voters from today, second column is early voting or absentee votes (they call it “One Stop Voting” here), third column is provisionals and will be zero for a while.
Choice Election Day Absentee / One Stop Provisional Total Percent
Obama/Biden 38,697 591,582 0 630,279 55.29%
McCain/Palin 47,651 453,538 0 501,189 43.97%
Barr/Root 521 4,750 0 5,271 0.46%
WRITE-IN 270 2,852 0 3,122 0.27%
Obama had almost 140,000 more early voters than McCain. Not sure how bad that is in the grand scheme of things.
