Early Voting - North Carolina
http://www.oldnorthstatepolitics.com/ ^ | 10/21/2016

Posted on 10/21/2016 6:58:35 AM PDT by mrs9x

Things are not looking good in the early voting in North Carolina. For whatever reason, Republican absentee ballot requests and returns are down significantly from 2012. Also, yesterday was the first day of in-person early voting, and the Democrats were well ahead of Republicans, 85K to 39K.

Can anyone explain what is going on in North Carolina? I know many Democrats there are old-time conservative Democrats, but I would like to see the numbers for Republicans go up.

The fraud was just as rampant in 2012, tho widely poo-poohed and ignored. And Zerohisseff only won by 4 mil. I will concede it is probably moreso since there were NO repercussions.

I THINK here in NC the countryside is aroused and will turn out in greater numbers. I HOPE there are enough of us to counter the dumblecrats in town and the illegals stupidly given driver’s licenses which is an id to vote!

I am early voting tomorrow and will advise how busy it is and see if I can glean the general feel of the lines: smart folks and the idiots who are blinded by dumbles.

"I think it’s because Democrats are not a work so they have plenty of time to go to the polls in the middle of the day."

And go to the polls multiple times at that.

A new high of 88% of voters now say they are certain how they will vote in this election. Among these voters, it’s Trump 48%, Clinton 47%, Johnson three percent (3%) and Stein two percent (2%). Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it’s Trump 38%, Clinton 25%, Johnson 21% and Stein 16%."

Sweet !!!

They used the info to figure out who hasn’t voted in the database and target those people for rigging the votes. All you have to do is come in and say you are “so and-so” and vote in their place. So that they don’t get caught, they try to target the people who haven’t voted yet.

I saw a few people who couldn’t vote because someone voted in their place. You get a provisional ballot, but good luck getting those to count. You have to go downtown to Board of Elections after the election and swear it’s your vote to count.

This year they may be so blatant without Voter ID, that they may commit mass fraud.

The only good sign is that I live in Durham and I have only seen one Hillary sign. Granted not many Trump signs either, but Trumpsters are scared to put up their signs in this area. I’ve had mine up for a while and haven’t had any trouble yet.

I guess the true test of yard signs would be to run over to Chapel Hill.

The trouble with Nate Silver’s “chance of winning” is that it tracks polls exponentially not linearly. The polls it’s based on can change by a few percent but the “chance of winning” changes exponentially and by 10x the poll change.

That is the way his “chance of winning” chart is set up. People need to remember that.

So it looks way worse than it actually is, plus it’s based on polls that are proven to be severely D and W oversampled.

A lot of people have left the Republican party.

Lines are long. Waiting two or three days will means a quicker time. It should even out.

I despise it too. I think a lot of conservatives do. I used to get the absentee request sent to me by the Republicans, never filled it out.

I do early voting though. That way at least they can’t just throw away my ballot when they receive it. There is a tally kept by the machines when voting in person.

When you vote you are marked off in the database. If you vote too late the Dems get a list of who hasn’t voted yet from the Dem poll workers and target your name for having someone vote in your place. Without Voter ID, there’s no way to catch them. And you’re the one who doesn’t get to vote except provisional.

Several years ago I was selected for jury duty and on the first day all of us selected jurists were assembled in the court room when the Bailiff announced that anyone who thought they had a valid reason to be excused from jury duty was to line up in front of the judge to state the reason they should be excused.

Most of those requesting to be excused were college students who would miss class if they remained on jury duty, but one young man (an obvious Democrat) stated he shouldn’t be on jury duty because he didn’t live in Hoke County.

The Judge told him that the jury pool is selected from drivers license issuance and from voter registration, so which one was he? The young man answered, “Neither, I voted in Hoke County, but I don’t live in this county.”

I fully expected the judge to order the young man arrested after saying that, but the judge simply said, “Excused,” and that was the end of it.

You can search for your North Carolina voter info here.

https://vt.ncsbe.gov/voter_search_public/

Click on your name and you can see all your info. Plus you can get a sample ballot for your area.

Very strange because just yesterday I heard that someone in a NC elections position claimed that ballots were coming in 2 or 3 to 1 in favor of Trump.

One year I received the database on CD. I checked it out for voter fraud. I found a few, I think needed further investigating, but couldn’t get anyone to listen.

The problem is you don’t have the other databases to compare. I was able to find a prison database for some of the areas of North Carolina, but that was about it. NC allows felons to vote, but not incarcerated felons. The Federal government won’t give you the database for illegals that have committed crimes that they have. They won’t even share this with local law enforcement most of the time. I’m sure there are databases that would help. I don’t think anyone was using the Social Security death databases. I gave up trying to help find voter fraud. I think that since then some groups have done a better job than I was able to, namely the NC Civitas organization.

But it’s the Federal government and the lack of interest by Republicans that have allowed voter fraud to take place on a massive scale.

Plus the GOPe/RNC are probably withholding grassroots/GOTV efforts from the Trump campaign, which hasn’t built its own to speak of.

Meanwhile, the Dems have been pouring in the spending and illegal activity at all of these swing states.

It’s part of the demoralization campaign being waged by the left and concern trolls.
