Two ways.

First, polling in early voting states will ask whether someone voted, who they voted for and their party affiliation. This info can be used to come up with a good idea of how voting is going.

Second, early vote ballots can be cross referenced against the voter’s Party registration (where such exists) This is imperfect because it assumes that people don’t cross party lines in a general election, but applying algorithms based on past election results can produce a weighting that results in a decent guess as to how voting is going.

New York Times is giving a different story:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/31/upshot/early-voting-election-results-hold-good-news-for-democrats.html?_r=0&abt=0002&abg=0

Not that I trust them much.

Sorry....I do not trust any news......good or bad. I trust only one thing....and that is turnout, turnout, turnout!!! Every single “AMERICAN” voter, regardless of party and political affilation must turn out and vote against every single Democrat running for office, which effectively willl destroy the current, Obamabot Democrat Party!!! That result will also render, POTUS, Barack (I love the Muslim Brotherhood brethren) Obama, an instant “LAME DUCK” POTUS!!!

“Democrats lead in after hours voting”

Not to mention, Oh look, we found a full ballet box in the trunk of that car, and it was never counted. TWO days after the fact.

Right out of an episode of The Good Wife, Chicago elections at there finest.

Yah fine, except Republican ballots come from people, not “forgotten” in car trunks, “found” in a corner of the precinct, etc.

I completely agree. The last couple of election cycles (except for maybe 2010) the dems have always held an early vote lead. They have pushed for early voting because they’ve found it to be an advantage. If the GOP truly holds a 10 point lead on early ballots, the wave next Tuesday will be epic.

If the ballot count doesn't begin until Tuesday how does anyone know who's leading? And even after the election how do they determine the exact percentages of who black people voted for ...or women, students, or senior men?

But they’re not Democrats. Not that there’s much difference, but the media are out to cripple the GOP, so I vote GOP.

I figured a lot of the numbers we get are interpretive. But the talking heads and the party operatives seem so sure about how black women under 35 or single white mothers voted it makes me wonder.

You are correct that the Dems usually lead in early voting decisively. Early voting provides the Dems with another way to commit voter fraud.

WHY are they counting early votes already?
All that does is inform the Democrats exactly how much
they need to cheat.

Democrats have perfected a surgeon like approach to pinpointed precincts that are crucial and precincts where they can commit the fraud.

It's a simple matter of MATH.

Which is why they want COMMON CORE instilled in public schools.

Republicans always start out with the lead.

And then someone publishes the fact that the R's are way ahead in early voting, so the broken glass R's stay home. Lol. This is not something that should be published at this point. At least wait til late Tuesday, Drudge, for cryin' out loud...

The theft occurs late on election day. When they know who has already voted after say 6:00 the hired troops are sent in.
