In New Jersey, Turnout Higher In GOP and Swing Districts Than In Democrats
I want to preface this by noting that all of this is based only on the early voting, and is based on about a half-dozen polling places in every county in New Jersey; some known as historically Republican districts, some known as historically swing districts, and some known as historically Democratic districts.
A trusted source tells me that as of noon, total turnout in the GOP the swing districts in NJ is significantly outpacing turnout in Democrat districts. The turnout ratio is not quite two to one, but it's not that far from it.
Now, this should NOT be interpreted as ipso facto evidence that Chris Christie is going to win. Democratic districts may have more voters show up later in the day. This isn't an exit poll, and we have no idea how the folks in any of these districts are voting; we just know that they're showing up and voting.
But, as of this morning, turnout was higher Republican areas of the state than in Democratic ones, and that has to make Chris Christie and his supporters feel like they're doing their jobs well...

Have the busses from Philadelphia started arriving yet?
Weren’t the Obama voters offered any “Obama money” to get to the polls for Corzine?

Those malt liquor hangovers are wicked. No relief until two or three PM sometimes.

Intrade has Corzine at 45 down from 50 an hour ago.
Oddly enough, SEPTA is on strike.

Yep. Besides, operating hours for welfare recipients start after 1 p.m. anyway.

That’s good to hear. On the other hand, we’re dealing with New Jersey here. To paraphrase Stalin, “I don’t care who votes, as long as I get to COUNT the votes...”
Shouldn’t sent Biden. JoBi could have closed the deal.

Especially since those in GOP/swing areas are likely to be going to vote before going to work. “Going to work” isn’t necessarily an issue for those in dems’ districts.
I hate to say it, but wait until the Demo voters wake up around 3 PM.
I'm not necessarily worried. McQueeg was actually behind in the polling going into election day. We here in FReeperland just engaged in a mass self-delusion that caused us to assume that all the polls were uniformly wrong and that we were really ahead.
Won't make that mistake again.
We call these ACORN voters...
don’t forget there is a “holdback” county.
(PS: I have only my old, non-updated ping list at this office, so I apologize if I left anyone off. I'll put the link to this thread on the NJ board.)
Beggining of month - welfare checks just arrived so
