Seems hopeless. No matter how many times this is explained, they keep re-posting this nonsense with hysterical “I’m concerned” responses.
>> North Carolina was 21 points in 2008 and it’s 9 now. <<
Holy Cow, you’re right!!! GMU’s early vote showed 2004 on the 2008 page and I didn’t read carefully enough!

Very helpful - thank you for breaking it down so clearly. Appreciate it.
Nutshell. They are significantly lower than they were in 2008 where McCain won the voting on Election day.
Ambiguous headline...
Early....voting results would be reporting about today and
Early voting....results would be about what happened last week and the week before in the “early voting”.
Those deficits do look bad for Romney. But please keep in mind that Dems always have an advantage in early voting. This is not unusual and no cause for alarm.
These numbers are valid. I live in Iowa in these numbers are correct. Our awesome Republican Sec of State released those numbers. AP and others have reported on our numbers, as well as those early voting numbers from the other states. Please remember— They are early voting numbers-—not numbers from voting today! That is key.
My biggest takeaway from these numbers—we have Colorado. Since Dems always have an early voting advantage, it is highly unlikely that Dems will catch up. So, we should be celebrating. Also, we can catch up in those other states—Iowa, NC, etc. so please think positive.
I don’t think anyone expected Mitt to lead early voting, all he had to do is cut into O’s 2008 advantage, which appears to be the case.
Rush said this am that he got a call from someone in exit polling, they had been told not to interview elderly white people.
His response was stuff like that goes on all the time, pay no attention to any polls you see, just VOTE.
I know that we *can* catch up, and even though NC looks the worst it’s the state I’m most confident of Romney taking; Iowa — not so much.
About the only thing that’s going to save Bonzo in Florida is a massive dose of vote fraud, which they are feverishly working on.
Now will the in person voting be D+11 also and don't forget the 25% independents breaking to Romney.
“BS too early for data to be released yet”
These are party preferences indicated (I’m assuming) and not vote counts.
AP dropped 19 states from the exit polling. 15 red states and 4 blue. so the whole thing is whack.
“The Associated Press is reporting estimated tallies of those who voted by mailing in their early voting ballot or who voted at special polling places set up to accommodate early voters. The tallies represent how many Democrats and how many Republicans voted early in various states. Please note these are not exact, official figures and do not reflect specific, individual votes, as any voter can vote for any candidate regardless of affiliation. Nobody knows for sure what goes on behind that curtain or when someone is filling out their form at home, alone, at their kitchen table.”
These are just party preferences, not actual vote counts for R & O. These are the sort of final estimates of early voting in these states, which we knew would favor Ds, as that’s their way of gaming they system. We also know that they are way behind where they were in 2008, and the Rs are way ahead (even in early votes by party affiliation, absentee applications, etc.)
That’s assuming that Republican poll watchers haven’t been forcibly removed from the polls by the NBP or other group then beaten, stabbed then left for dead (or worse).
“We also know that they are way behind where they were in 2008, and the Rs are way ahead (even in early votes by party affiliation, absentee applications, etc.)”
You said it. The Associated Pravda. Believe at your own risk.
These numbers are wrong. For example, there is another thread on FR that leads to a link where the SOS of Colorado said Repubs lead Dems in early voting by 5.1 pct
The assumption that all the reporters are making is that each and every Dem vote is for 0bama.
However, that is not going to be the case.
I know of several Dem voters who are not happy with the big 0 and are voting for Romney.
I have a feeling that they will be very disappointed and assume fraud when the final numbers are in and there are many Romney Democrats.
My sister is one of them. She was a true believer supporter for 0bama and has changed 180 degrees. She liked Gingrich!!
Any numbers being released now are “exit poll” numbers, which are all over the place. They have to be, because there is no tallying until the polls close.
