Dems have massive lead in early vote
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2008-10-20 16:49Democrats have a massive edge in early voting here.
According to a post on MSNBC's First Read blog by erstwhile North Carolina parachutist-journalist Carrie Dann, over 340,000 North Carolinians had cast ballots as of this morning through absentee or one-stop voting.
Of 270,000 in-person voters since "One Stop" opened last Thursday, over 60% were registered Democrats, compared to only 20% Republicans. (The remainder: mostly unaffiliated voters, who make up about 20% of the state's electorate.)
Of the 66,000 civilians who have mailed in absentee ballots, Republicans have outnumbered Democrats by a margin of about 2-1.
Still, registered Democrats make up 55% of those who have already cast votes for the North Carolina general election, while registered Republicans account for less than one in three ballots already cast.
