The Official Absentee & Early Voting Reports Thread

What are you even talking about?

I'm just passing information, from the Tampa Bay Times, a non-partisan newspaper, along. Don't believe it if you don't want to.

Big day for Dems in Clark, as they added 6000 to their margin and are now over 60k total. Republicans netted about 200 votes in Washoe and it's still basically tied there. Early voting ends tomorrow.

Arizona doesn't publish early vote numbers at all, as far as I can tell. Texas does, but there's no party registration in Texas, so all they publish are the county by county vote totals.

Wow, Republicans won Washoe today by five votes. Super close!

Cuyahoga county was down another 800 votes today vs 08 or 11% down vs same day 08.

Down 16% overall vs 08 at same time.

Yeah, that's what happens when you take away early voting during the weekend for nakedly partisan reasons. It's a disgrace.

What does weekend early voting have to do with depressed turnout during the week? If Obama's voters were motivated, they'd be voting MORE not LESS in Obamaphone country during the week to compensate.

Um, they are? After twenty-three days of early voting, there 36,578 votes (according to that PDF at least... I'm pretty sure there are a lot more than that). After twenty-three days of early voting in 2008 there were 16,991 votes (again, according to that PDF... there were actually a lot more than that). According to the GMU site, there have been 196,844 votes in Cuyahoga last time it was updated, so again I have no idea what that PDF means.

Rumors that Democrats had a massive final day in Clark County, netting 9,600 votes and ending with a total margin of over 70k. If that's the case, then it's about time to call the state for Obama. And Heller's in trouble.

Confirmed!

Nevada is gone for Romney. The question is whether or not it's gone for Heller.

@PeterHambyCNN: Dems in Ohio blowing up early vote today in blue counties like Cuyahoga, Lucas, Franklin. Some GOP anxiety about it.

Down 90k vs 08

Final early vote tally in Miami-Dade County, Florida - 235,733; in 2008, the early vote there was 325,903

Yeah, a lot of that has shifted to absentee. There's a reason the Republican absentee margin has been shrunk so much.

Isn't +2 worse than the Republicans did in the 2010 early vote? A year in which they lost the governor and senate races?
