I just checked the Texas Tribune early voting tracker. They have day 3 results in and El Paso County is already beyond 2014 early voting turnout. I expected El Pasoans (is that what you call them?) to be excited about Beto, but passing the whole 2014 early vote total on day 3 is pretty nuts.

North Carolina:

Not sure how best to interpret this data considering how many Demosaurs there are in the South

There are a few, North Carolina is weird. In 2016 it voted for Trump, reelected a Republican Senator, but also threw out an incumbent Republican Governor. But I can tell you Democrats are very energized in the state. Democrats overall are fired up about the blatant power grab the Republican legislature made after Roy Cooper was elected in 2016 (removing some of the Governor's appointment powers and giving it to themselves. NC already has one of the weakest Governor's offices in the country). Democrats are very enthusiastic about at least taking away the Republican supermajority in the legislature. They only need four and six seats (out of 50 and 120 in each) in each house to do so. The three or four vulnerable GOP House seats, across the state with one in suburban Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh each, are another fuel for Democratic enthusiasm.

Long live the Reid machine.
