More than 35 million americans early votes have been counted - well more than the total cast in the 2014 midterms. The NBC news data analytics Lab, using voter file data from TargetSmart, found that 35,526,881 early votes were counted nationwide as of Monday. In states that have early voting, 42 percent of voters are Republican, 41 percent are Democrats, and 17 percent have either independent or have another party affiliation.

Republican-affiliated voters have outpaced Democratic-affiliated voters in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas. In Nevada, Democratic-affiliated voters have outpaced their Republican counterparts.

The total early vote as of Election Day in 2016, a presidential election year when turnout is much higher, was 46,314,207

Any gains for Republicans in the house would have the sky screamers dropping like flies.

49% of the registered voters in the county have cast ballots. Folks don’t register by party in Texas, so that breakdown isn’t available.

The only folks doing retail campaigning are the Beto folks.

This much-larger-than-normal early voting worries me.

The DNC was caught attempting to hack the Georgia voting database. What if they are doing it in every state and GA is the only one that caught them?

If they could access the state database, they could use the data to forge mail-in ballots for as many voters as they want.

If they were really bold, they could forge straight DNC ballots for registered Republicans, and cause mass confusion at the polling stations, and then scream that they need to be kept open longer (only in D districts) so they can forge as many as they need once other districts finish reporting.

There will be hijinks for sure, but this administration will prosecute those caught. It’s harder to do on statewide elections but locals yes. Watch CA especially if the Rats don’t get what they need from the east coast.

In Michigan, independents were breaking for John James by about 3% in the latest DEM poll. I’m sure there are some disgusted Democrats, too.

What is the track record of Quinnipiac polls? Funny they have both the commie and Nelson leading by 7.

Not with data analytics - only started 2016 as far as I know.

The big question in my mind is that 17% independent/other. That’s a big wild card.

Just the fact we’re sweeping the Red State Senate contests are stunning.

You usually lose seats in a mid-term election. Look for the undertow tomorrow.

They are using analytics like baseball. Registration stats are a start but they look at other factors to determine if you’re an R or D. Think snooping a la NSA.

Can’t believe that the independent vote won’t move right like it did in 2016. We may shock the world tomorrow yet.

If it was like 2010 - would be epic! But we’re not gonna gain 63 House seats.

A break even in the House at this point would be a huge loss for the DEMs.
