Early voting has closed in North Carolina.

Though final figures were not yet available, preliminary numbers from the State Board of Elections show that more than 40 percent of the state's registered voters have already cast ballots as of 3:45 p.m.

In all, more than 2.5 million people voted early this year, more than double the number of early voters in 2004 and more than 70 percent of all the votes cast that year.

Some votes may still be cast. Anyone in line at a polling place by 5 p.m. can still vote under state law.

Dont Blame Me I voted 4 Bush! Remember that brilliant sticker :)

"DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR BUSH....." Remember that "brilliant" bumper sticker(?) when Clinton defeated George Herbert B?????? The Right-wing fanatics of the Republican Party predicted the 'world would come to an end' if Clinton elected. "Don't Blame Me, I voted for Bush." How pathetic.
New decade, new election.... same tired, panicked... last-ditch, desperate act of desparation by the Republicans.
GOP's.... there aren't enough Catherine Harris's in the world.. to steal this one for you.....

Obviously you don't know much about history of fraudulent Democrat elections where dead people vote multiple times.The NY Boss Tweed Democrat Political Machine in the 1800's , the Chicago Daley Political Machine from the 1960's through today with his son the current corrupt Mayor Daley. And Huey P. Long the most famous ballot stuffer in La. history.
Sorry you haven't got an education. As with most Democrats " A mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste"

That was from the Robert Redford movie "The Candidate" ..."Vote early and often".... . Let's hear some more republican fiction. Don't they have a saying " If you can't deny, lie"

Vote Early and Vote Often

As they say in the corrupt Daley Political Machine hometown of Barack Obama, Chicago. Vote Early and Vote as many times as you can.
It's going to great to have the first corrupt Chicago democrat socialist politician as "President".
