The Numbers Are In: North Carolina Democrats Crush Republicans In Early Voting
If the numbers from the first day of early voting in North Carolina are an indicator of how the November elections will turn out in a state which is mindbogglingly rigged in Republicans’ favor, then Democrats are looking good.
WCNC reports, “Democrats have long enjoyed an advantage in Early Voting, but these totals are closer to a presidential election instead of a midterm election, says political science professor and analyst Dr. Michael Bitzer.”
“It does not feel like a traditional midterm election.It is eye-opening for Republicans in particular, and especially the Thom Tillis campaign, simply because this should a lean GOP year,” Bitzer said.
In Mecklenburg County, Republicans are doing slightly better than Democrats outside the county, Bitzer said. He said that he believes the early numbers shows the enthusiasm of Democrats supporting Senator Kay Hagan.
“Potentially by early next week we may see comparable numbers to four years ago, even with fewer days for folks to be voting,” Bitzer said.
Senator Kay Hagan cast her ballot near Greensboro on Friday. Speaker Thom Tillis — who is only the second Republican to serve as House speaker since the turn of the 20th century — is considering early voting himself, however as of Friday night, nothing is official.
“The likelihood is Democrats will continue to dominate early voting. The big question is: Who is left to show up on Election Day? And I think with such a tight race is going to be important for both sides to get their supporters to the polls. It is incumbent for both parties to have their ground games in effect. This is a part of the strategy: early voting,” Bitzer said.
If Democrats turned out in each state to vote, this country would be a beautiful color. Vote.

I find it so sad that people have this belief that they do not have healthcare. That being forced to buy insurance means they will then have healthcare. Everyone in the country has healthcare at their county or parish hospital. You will not be turned away like you seem to think. being forced to buy a policy that insures you is NOT healthcare. That policy only guarantees that you will pay a large monthly premium and an astronomical deduction before any of your expenses are reimbursed. Reimbursed, that also is a term that does NOT mean you will get healthcare, it means an insurance company first gets to scrutinize any remitted costs for reimbursement in order to deny those claims. But don’t bother sending them in until you spend around $10,000 of your own money for the yearly deductible. Yes I said yearly, as in $10,000 +/- $1000. Kinda like a property tax on mega ultra steroids. Pay up every year plus monthly premiums plus all those co pay amounts. Yea!!!!!! Healthcare reform is really just so great. I am curious, where do all those poor people get the funds to even pay those huge deductibles and monthly premiums?

too bad the gop don’t spend as much energy trying to attract new voters as they do in suppressing their votes. despite the voter supression, democrats will still win because: 1 they have right on their sude, 2 they registered new voters. the gop didn’t because they are too busy trying to be exclusive and suppressing votes. 3. people don’t like it when you try to take away their votes. when that happens, it makes them more determined to vite, en masse
