Actually Rs are ahead of 212 pace per article:

The total number of in-person early ballots is down 3 percent from the same day in 2012, while those from registered Democrats are down 11 percent, from registered Republicans down 7 percent, but up among registered unaffiliated voters by 28 percent.

Thanks LS, I missed that part of the article. Lots of data flying around and I am trying to keep up. Looks like Republicans actually out-performed on the first day of early voting in comparison to 2012. That is encouraging since Romney won NC in 2012.

I am reading this the same way you are. Why is this being painted as a dire situation?
