Early Voting Results

These statistics are interesting, but I think they mistakenly assume those who are registered as Democrats automatically vote for Obama, and Republicans automatically vote for McCain. The latter may be more true than the former. I also question the percentage totals - hard to believe 46% of NC voters have already been to the polls, although, to be honest, nearly everyone I've spoken with in the last 3 days have voted. Still, these are the only figures I've seen so far and they come from a source in a discussion group who seems to be reliable.

AS OF TODAY, 15.77 million people have voted.

In Arkansas, 21.4% of the total 2004 vote is already in
In California, 18.4%
In Colorado, 44.6%
In Florida, 33.9%
In Georgia, 41.8%
In Illinois, 15%
In Iowa, 24.3%
In LA, 13.5%
In ME, 14.4%
In NV, 45.2%
In NM, 39.7%
In NC, 45.8%
In OH, 8%
In TN, 45%
In TX, 23.9%
In WA, 13.5%
