He's talking about VOTES cast! (exit polls of early voters)

CBS/NY Times Poll: Bush 51%, Kerry 43% Among Early Voters
October 31, 2004

[SNIP]
In many states (including battlegrounds like Florida) in-person early voting began weeks ago. Today one in five voters nationwide say they have already cast their ballot in some way, and still more were planning to do so before Tuesday when interviewed Thursday through Saturday.

13% of likely voters volunteered that they already voted when we asked if they were likely to vote this year; the remainder told us that they had done so when we asked the method by which were voting.

Early voters split about evenly, one-third each between Democrats, Republicans and Independents. They are a bit older: one-quarter are 65 or over, and eight in ten are above age 45. President Bush holds a lead among them.

ALREADY CAST A BALLOT: WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR?

Bush -- 51%
Kerry -- 43%

BTW --

If this stopped anyone from voting it would be the democrat "new voters" signed up just in the last 6 months.

Remember Florida -- when they called it for GORE an hour early....panhandle Bush voters stayed home!

STILL we all must vote and vote hard. ;-)

We need an incontestable MANDATE!!!

I voted early Friday before last in Okaloosa County, Florida, which gave Bush 74% of its vote in 2000 (large active/retired military presence, plus bible belt). The line was an hour long, growing even longer when I left. The turnout in 2000 in Okaloosa County was 70%, and the Supervisor of Elections is predicting an 80% turnout this election. So we in the Florida panhandle will do our part, just need a little help from the rest of the state and Bush will carry Florida.

I happened to be in St. Augustine, FL, this weekend, and had the opportunity to "survey" a lot of cars with the heavy traffic on I-10 -- football fans driving home after the Florida/Georgia game. Of the hundreds of autos with political stickers, I am happy to report that the overwhelming majority were Bush/Cheney.
