“BS too early for data to be released yet”
These are party preferences indicated (I’m assuming) and not vote counts.
“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. Nobody knows for sure what goes on behind that curtain or when someone is filling out their form at home, alone, at their kitchen table.”
These are just party preferences, not actual vote counts for R & O. These are the sort of final estimates of early voting in these states, which we knew would favor Ds, as that’s their way of gaming they system. We also know that they are way behind where they were in 2008, and the Rs are way ahead (even in early votes by party affiliation, absentee applications, etc.)
