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.

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.

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.

Maybe many Democrats are also voting for Trump.

Perhaps the question should be: How many of the Dem ballots are legit? We all know they’re counting on votes from dead people, dogs, people registered to vote in multiple states, felons and illegal immigrants to put Hillary over the top.

Democrats do early vote WAYY more in NC than Republicans. Democrats got ~70% of their votes from early votes vs ~50% of Republicans in 2012.

It is early voting. Democrats often tend to vote early in higher numbers. Republicans tend to vote in greater numbers on election day itself. These trends are beginning to even up over time, but not entirely yet.

It isn’t who votes when...it’s what the total is at the end.

Indies are really 50% Trump voters that used to be R. That’s why fewer R ballots are returning.

10% of Dems will vote Trump. That’s a Bradley effect if if you will.

And 75% of indies will vote Trump. That’s the monster vote.

And 98% of R will vote Trump. That’s enthusiasm.

The polls are still acting like this is a normal election.

People should realize many former Republicans have renounced their affiliation to the party and now are independent, thus Republican numbers down slightly but independent number are up significantly.

Hey, troll-boy.

The poll which gave the Dem the 5% advantage in Arizona had a Dem +34% sample.

Chill out and eat a sammich.

It makes perfect sense if many of those Democrats are voting for Donald Trump.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

Many Republican voters are old school like myself.

I enjoy the ritual of going to the polling place on election day.

Dems always hit the early voting stuff early because they bus out the freaks. But numbers are down 10% for them or more depending on the state compared to peak Obama. Indies appear to be up everywhere. The North Carolina numbers I am familiar with (28 percent over 2012?), but I believe I’ve seen the same trend everywhere. Indies outperforming is a good sign for Donald Trump.

There are more democrats,but they are not in the same numbers as 2012,they are done more than republicans and independents are up big.
Just because they are democrats does not mean they are voting for the beast

Don’t forget those ####sucker neverTrumpers. I know a few and I can’t stand what they are doing. “Conservative” my butt. Just holier than thous and they disgust me.

There’s still plenty of time to make a case to these people.

I hope George Will ends up in hell for the murder of every single baby under the new clinton supreme court, God forbid.

It’s true! More D new registrations than R.

But the mystery is this: MANY OF US, TRUMP SUPPORTERS, ARE ALREADY REGISTERED AS “UNAFFILIATED”!

Go Figure!

Trump chances are much much better that they think.

“Why the hell have more dems cast ballots than republicans? This makes absolutely no sense.”

Independents are heavily voting Trump in NC. There’s a lot of independents. Black voting so far is down 24% in NC. Clinton is losing handily with both white men and white women in NC. Trump will win NC.

Are Republicans sitting this one out again?

That's what the Dems hope for but we aren't. Don't be so quick to bite on the bait that they keep danging.
