The absentee/early vote thread

Well, early voting from that Old North site show Democrats holding longer than in 2012.



Also, while the Democrats and Unaffiliateds are ahead of their 2012 numbers, Republicans are lagging behind.

According to this graph the GOP took the lead 51 days before Election Day last cycle.

While this is good news, my worry is that a lot of White conservative Democrats that haven't voted in ages have been reengaged by Trump and that passion is partially at work here. Or maybe this is all just a sign of Clinton's superior ground game.

When does in person early voting start in NC?

October 20.

NC will be a blue state before this is over. 2012 is the last time a white Rethug will ever tarnish it red.

While I think there's a small chance a Republican might win it again, I've been saying for years that NC would be Lean Dem sooner than people were expecting. Something like 2028 probably. I mean, think about it. Romney only won by a hair. Is Ted Cruz honestly going to be able to beat Clinton in 2020? I don't think so.

I feel like the general consensus is that Clinton is now slightly favored in Arizona anyway, yes?
