Iowa looks solid.
(Excerpt) Read more at sos.iowa.gov ...
These numbers are REQUESTS for absentee ballots. Most requested ballots are returned (upwards of 90%) especially in Iowa. I will post ABSENTEE RETURNS on Monday. So here are numbers comparing cumulative ABSENTEE REQUESTS at equivalent points in the respective election cycles (Friday before General election):
11/4/16: Dem 270,014; Rep 220,678 UAF/Other 151,900
11/2/12: Dem 301,767; Rep 219,354 UAF/Other 186,262
Again Dems down 31,000 and Reps slightly higher and Unaffiliateds also down 35,000 all from 2012.
At least in 2008/2012, Obama's goal was to push up the Independent vote in addition to his Democratic strength. It appears that has not translated to 2016.

They were at -40,000 when we started, so they creeped back a little, but it’s not 85,000 like 2012.
Yep
Early voting is simply a tool for vote fraud. It and absentee voting should be abolished with the only exception is military personnel overseas
I could not agree more.
Bravo to Governor Terry Branstad.
I am going to be out of state for work on election day. Maybe an affidavit vote that you will be out of state for work, vacation or military service?
I also think that election day should be a national holiday so you wouldn’t be at work. If any form of early voting is allowed it should be in person only with ID required.
Plenty of jobs still work on national holidays :)
According to whom?
Nice 3-word thread.
hopefully there will be a substantial dem crossover. if i were a dem i’d crossover.
Me. Call me out on Tuesday if I’m wrong.
Well, it'll be hard to tell, won't it?
Since your happy little thread has only three words in it and provides absolutely no information.
And.. "Call you Out"... what will you be "IN"?
A barrel? A tunnel? A cave? Rosie O'Donnel?
I think the data speaks for itself. Not a whole lot to add.
Iowa looks solid.
Nice data.
Fail.
No look at the numbers in next reply please.
If that data is from the source and not from you, why isn’t it in the body of the thread?
Next time I will.
Interesting that Is are down so much. In most states we’ve seen big increases in Is. Probably bodes well for us though.
