In Nevada and nationally, absentee voting marginally advantages R's, whereas Early In-person voting helps D's immensely. The 2012 statistics show it. The early in person votes advantage is are much greater in number for Dems than absentee for Republicans. This is why the media is trying to pump up the stories about absentee lagging anywhere (bad for Repubs) rather than focusing on deficiencies in early in person voting (which is bad for Dems).

Look at North Carolina, Dems are down in early voting as of today, which if it holds will be much worse of a problem for them than Repubs down in absentee. Yet the media is not reporting that story, despite it being the bigger story:

Ravi, Speedy, can you guys weigh in? It looks like NV Rs are down about 1.5% in absentees from 2012, and in earlies it was about 8% in 2012 while now it’s about 13%. Am I reading this right? Was there an extra week, though, of early voting in 2012? There was in OH.
