The Official Absentee & Early Voting Reports Thread

   The SUSA poll that came out yesterday of Ohio had 18% of total voters saying they had already voted.  This implies a total early vote of about 1 million, and I believe the total early vote so far according to Professor Mcdonald's site is only around half that.  Of course lots of ballots are in the mail, but I wonder if alot of people who said they have already voted actually mean they are going to shortly.

    Concerning the white racist electorate of Georgia, I'm sure that if the Dems had an all white ticket the white vote would still go very Republican, though not of course quite as Democrat as the black vote.  White voters in much of the South have taken their cue from their black fellow citizens in how to vote in a bloc.

    Just heard a hilarious claim by Stephanie Cutter, an Obama campaign deputy director on the radio news.  She acknowledged its a close race, but said that in every battleground state Dems are ahead two to one in early voting.  Wonder if she's been smoking the same stuff Dick Morris has been, just the Dem version of it.  I do believe Obama has a lead in battleground early voting at least in some states anyway but not two to one.
