Early voting offers positive signs in key states for Clinton
Yahoo.com ^ | 10/14/16 | MplsSteve

Posted on 10/14/2016 6:41:19 AM PDT by MplsSteve

Advance voting shows positive signs for Hillary Clinton in two states that could help her lock up the presidency, North Carolina and Florida, as the election enters a critical, final stretch.

There are encouraging signs for Donald Trump in Ohio. That's a vital state for the Republican presidential nominee, but a victory there would be only one of many steps he would need to win.

The latest data, representing at least 758,000 ballots cast — and millions more requested — highlight Trump's difficult path to the White House. And these numbers may understate his problems: The figures don't yet reflect any voter response to the recording released last Friday of Trump making crude remarks about women.

OK everyone, don't jump all over me just because I'm not posting a upbeat story about Trump's chances in November.

I'm simply posting this because there are some Freepers out there who are knowledgable about early voting trends, etc. I'm just seeking some input as to what people think about the article in general.

Misleading headline.

From the article:

“In Florida, a record 2.9 million people have requested ballots, or more than one-third of the total voters in 2012. Republicans are running ahead in ballot requests, 41 percent to 38 percent.”

The dangerous assumption is that Early Voting Democrats are voting for Hitlery. Not so fast. . . .

The Florida trend is not good for her I saw this last night on FB. Remember this is Yahoo.

This is one of a few I have seen:

There was a thread here on Free Republic the other day that had the early voting trends in Florida favoring Trump.

Or was it in Hillsborough County?

this is the new talking point from the criminal liberal media...there was a similar article posted yesterday from NBC which inferred a blowout for clinton...but when you looked at the charts in their article they were quite favorable for Trump in Florida, NC and Iowa both for today and when compared to 2012 results...

Yes, I suspect that many retired New Yorkers who may be registered democrats will vote Trump.

Yahoo is a constant drumbeat of anti-Trump articles and almost no mention of Cankles’ crimes.

On Drudge today, there is a story of massive cheating and stuffing of ballot boxes to the tune millions of votes by Hillary’s fans.

http://thefederalist.com/2016/10/13/voter-fraud-real-heres-proof/

The democrats intend to cheat and cheat big.

America is going down the tubes if this is not curtailed and stopped.

Is there a link to the official statistics for early/absentee voting in Ohio and North Carolina? I have the links for Florida and Iowa. Thanks.

This is one of the many Clinton media whoremasters running stories attempting to manipulate voter enthusiasm and turnout. They are desperately trying to create a narrative that says its hopeless for Trump.

It’s precisely this sort of evil that is happening all over America.
