The Associated Press is reporting estimated tallies of those who voted by mailing in their early voting ballot or who voted at special polling places set up to accommodate early voters. The tallies represent how many Democrats and how many Republicans voted early in various states. Please note these are not exact, official figures and do not reflect specific, individual votes, as any voter can vote for any candidate regardless of affiliation.
In other words AP speculation and spin.
These numbers are not from voting today. I think they are people who voted before today.
These are NOT exit polls.
They are early voting tally’s by party affiliation. They are NOT results.
I Democrat voting for Romney or a Republican voting for Obama would not be reflected here. Just that a partisan cast a ballot.
So I’m not the only puzzled one...

The numbers for CO are wrong, so I’m going to ignore the rest, too:

“Ohio early voting results until the polls close so it is unlikely AP has them.”
They are not the results. They are a tally of how many of voters of each party have already cast votes.
These early voter statistics show that the Democrats blew their wad early and that’s the best they could do?
Fighting like “Cats” and “doggs” - let’s try and get along today :)
And they don’t know the actual votes anyway, this is merely party identification.
I have been refraining but this person is not one of us... no way.

If those numbers are accurate, they are very good for us because almost every pollster shows Romney with a large lead amongst voters who are voting today as opposed to early voting.
Obama needs to have locked up a huge advantage in early votes to win, and these numbers suggest that he hasn’t done that in most states.
Having said that, I am skeptical these numbers are real mainly because I am expecting Ohio to be razor close and this data indicates an easy Romney win there.
I didn’t have time to get away and do EV, a lot of Democrats don’t have that problem.
Like you said, useless without figures from 2008.
>>”NC and IA look troubling.”
I was thinking the same thing.<<
Remember y’all, back in 2008 the media flooded the airwaves with false reports, even called the election early.
Don’t believe it.
IA early voting for R’s is better than 2008.. Based on these results they may be able to win if base shows up today and indy’s go republican.
This thread should be closed. These are NOT official AP figures. They are speculative “estimates” that AP has arbitrarily put out there. The CO numbers DIRECTLY FROM THEIR SOS contradict this.
We need FACTS today not pro-Obama rumors.
Mods - please s***can this thread or at least the title to reflect these are not real “figures”
Thank you
