The Democratic Party needs to get competitive with Republicans in battleground North Carolina to turn out more voters before Election Day, says a former political consultant from the Tar Heel State.
Thomas Mills is publisher and founder of PoliticsNC, a website described as "Analysis, commentary, and opinion of North Carolina and national politics from the perspective of a center-left, 30-year veteran of the campaign battlefield."
Mills, who worked on the direct mail team for the Democratic National Committee in 2004, identified two problems that Democrats need to address, quickly, to compete in the state: early voting and low African American voter turnout.
"They [Republicans] seem to be on the right track right now. Democrats, on the other hand, need to boost their turnout. I mean, what we don't know is how people are voting," Mills told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "Some of these Republicans that are going to the polls may not actually be voting for Republicans. So, until we count the votes, we don't know a whole lot."
Mills said that this cycle, Republicans are voting at "levels much higher than they have in the past."
"The big question is, ‘What is driving the GOTV vote this cycle?’ They [Republicans] historically have not put any emphasis in North Carolina on early voting. In fact, in 2020, they actually told Republicans not to vote early, to vote on Election Day," Mill said. "This year, they've taken a different tack. And they're actively telling Republicans to go vote early."
Mills added that Republicans appear to be leading in early voting, which started on Oct. 17, but that until every ballot is counted, the parties won't know whether these early votes represent any new voters.
"Right now, they have more votes than Democrats," he added.

Saturday's in-person vote was a virtual three-way tie. Others led Democrats by ~2,000 votes, and… pic.twitter.com/hKamNJFySN— Michael Pruser (@MichaelPruser) October 27, 2024
Experts are stuned.
Like women getting suddenly amorous.
“”Dems need to ramp up early voting efforts to match GOP momentum””
DemocRATS need to ramp up ballot harvesting, ballot fraud, and Voter outreach to illegal trespassers.
There, fixed it.
This, apparently.
Yeah, they’ll take care of it on the back end.
Wish we had polls of “others” who have already voted and see who they voted for. Really critical in NC and NV.
The Democrats already plan on leading the Tuesday night/Wednesday morning voting next week.
Why?
What’s driving get out the vote efforts in 2024?
Probably the gazillions of dollars Kamala Harris has collected.
Nobody pays attention to the Obamas now except the cat ladies.
“Republicans that are going to the polls may not actually be voting for Republicans.”
That is some next level copium.
Post voting creative counting.
Anyone that swore the oath to protect and preserve the US constitution and instead betrayed it deserves to be put into a prison for treason. Alejandro Mayorkas is in that list...top three imho.
Party voting tally
Why not have each party in each state have a temporary web site and request all voters to state their party and stating who they voted for, using a temporary e-mail address that does not give actual name. The totals should be close to the actual count.
Trump leads with Independents.....like me who voted straight ticket Republican a week ago here in Charlotte.
same here in AZ
Hoping the early vote isn’t cannibalizing Election Day turnout.
Republicans must still win big ON election night.
Milley too, who promised to warn the Chinese of any pending attack by the US.
I address the cannibalization issue in this post and thread:

Bottom line—we are in great shape. Cannibalization is not a significant issue.
