Hillary Clintons campaign is touting some eye-popping advantages in early voting, in an apparent effort to energize Democratic voters, but preliminary figures suggest the race remains tighter than her aides acknowledge. The preliminary numbers appear to show Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, with an edge in several of the roughly 10 battleground states that will decide the 2016 White House race. We're seeing eye-popping vote-by-mail application numbers, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said on Fox News Sunday.
In Arizona and North Carolina, for example, more registered Democrats than Republicans have indeed cast early ballots.
But such numbers are open to interpretation, including how many Democrats in those two states voted for Clinton.
Meanwhile, early data shows Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump with potential advantages of his own in battleground states Florida, Ohio and elsewhere.

Why the hell have more dems cast ballots than republicans? This makes absolutely no sense.
There is at least a factor of ten more enthusiasm on the republican side. Are Republicans sitting this one out again? The most important election in American history, and Republicans are being out voted by democrats.
Things are going so well for Clinton that she has to bring in Obama in North Carolina.
Well, well, well, I guess RUSH was right...the polls are tightening!!!
> eye-popping vote-by-mail
Entire cemeteries are voting.
“Eye popping” is right: Ds are down 10% in NC, overall absentees down 300,000 in OH (most of that Ds!) and FL they are behind in Hillsborough Co. by almost 75%.
Mookie is cute, but wrong. No, early voting won’t help in AZ or NC or FL.
She, meanwhile is in NH.
HUH? I thought she had a 10 point lead there.
The pro Trump democrats might be very enthusiastic also.
Chill pill please. In OH, FL, NC, and IA Dems ALWAYS vote early more than Rs. They are off 40,000 in IA, which shows you how much they vote early.
As someone with a weak faith, it is discouraging to listen to the MSM. Please God, strengthen my faith. (I already voted for Trump in early voting, but I regret not having voted twice.)
I drove by the place where I’ll be voting NW of Houston at around 3:00 pm. There were probably 50 people in line outside the building. And I assure you this place is very conservative. I’d be willing to be no more than a few were there early to vote for Hillary.
Dems votes are down 10%; Rs are down 5% but Indies are up 28% in NC.
I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat hag.
Thank you
North Carolina also has a lot of conservatives who registered Democrat years ago and just have not changed their registration. There are about 700,000 more D’s than R’s in the state, yet it is a fairly reliable Republican state.
Calm down. A lot of us still believe in voting on Election Day you know. In most cases, it’s not a question of whether more Democrats voted early, but how those margins compare to four years ago.
Have they heard the story of tortoise vs hare? If they think they’re so far ahead why tell their supporters its in the bag and risk them staying home?
Maybe many Democrats are also voting for Trump.
I really hope so. If Clinton wins this we are finished, done, kaput. This is our last chance at survival as a free liberty loving country.
