I know the polls have been skewed but do Dems usually have this huge an edge in early voting in Iowa or anywhere else? Not being an eeyore just saying these differences are substantial or fraud?...

Nothing. Iowa is a likely Obama state.

Dems usually vote early. Rep show up on election day. The whole reason the Dems pushed this early voter scheme was to give their lazy ass voters more time to vote.

The exact opposite is happening in NC where Dem ballots are significantly down from 2008 and significantly less then GOP early ballots.

BTW National Journal is a wholly owned Democrat Party propaganda organ. You would be wise to simply ignore them.

The last real (Ras) poll I saw on Iowa had Romney by 3.

Here's a link to Absentee Statistics (updated daily) from IOWA Secretary of State Matt Schultz's site, General Election - November 6, 2012 Absentee Statistics.
But remembner that this is ONLY counting REQUEST FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS !

Take a look at the cheating found below, and think about how it might be done in Iowa.

How many of the LAME Stream Media prostitutes reported this ?
Make sure your friends know how the Democrats Fabian Fascists cheat. These people truly are VILE !

It depends. Normally Dems have an advantage that is slight to significant but not huge. Really, the best comparison would be to what the early voting looked like in 2004 and 2008 compared to this.

In 2008, many of us who expected McCain to win or thought the race was too close to call ignored reports that Dems were way up in early voting in swing states. The good news is that this year we are seeing Republican advantage in swing states, most notably Ohio and NC. LS can probably elaborate, or you can just look at his in forum page.

I absolutely agree on the skewed polls. I’ve been more outspoken than most on the absurdity of D+11 for example in Virginia. But these are real numbers of ballot requests by party and I have to assume that 80-85% of requests will be submitted as ballots and that 95% will be for the party that submitted them.

I’m just asking if anyone knows if these are margins are basically normal for early voting in Iowa.

I was linked to National Journal by another site. I agree that National Journal is a Dem site but whoever is reporting it these are hard numbers so my question is this a normal pattern for Iowa as I’ve never even been to that state.

Sorry should’ve ended with “95% will be for the party that REQUESTED them. Thanks.

I heard on Mark Levin today that the 6:1 Donkey edge was based on absentee ballot requests as of Monday 9/24. But it’s possible that the first batch of requests to be tallied might have been mostly from Donkey-dominated counties, such as urban areas or college towns. Once all counties are accounted for, this ratio should even out.
