I find it hard to believe 25% of all votes have voted.
Rove said it best when he answered Rush. They are required to release the names of those who early vote and based on their polls and party, they know who has votes.
W is going to Win this election big time.
I find it hard to believe 25% of all votes have voted. "
Let me tell you about my precinct, here in central Texas, since I am a precinct chair and got the early voting #s to make GOTV calls for the election ...
1050 early voters ... OUT OF 1700 REGISTERED VOTERS.
That's right, over 50% turnout, for early voting alone!!
We have 312 early voters who were GOP primary voters ...
176 of GOP primary voters did NOT vote ... do the math:
64% turnout of the GOP "base".
EVERY Republican I talked to voted early.
The Democrats ALSO turned out... not as high but close
(250 an about 140 more yet to vote).
In Texas elections, *normally* about 1/3rd of the votes are early votes... it must be higher this time.
Now as for the "25% of votes" depends on how many states have early voting... I dont have the answers there ... although a simple question would be: How many total votes have been cast in early voting?
Out of 30,000 people in our small town I was number 4,720 and that was on Thursday of last week.
I don't! Texas like other states with early voting has had phenomenal turnout this year. We had 30% of the registered voters turn out! That means we probably had more than 50% of our turnout already, unless of course we get over 60% total turnout for this election.
