North Carolina's Board of Elections provides a wealth of early-voting data in near-real time, affording a unique view into voter sentiment well in advance of election day. Those data are reproduced by many publications (for this report I have used Carolina Transparency as my raw data source), but often in a poorly rendered form that can do more to obscure than it can to provide insight.
From now through November 3rd I will be presenting daily my own re-analysis of these data, in the graph-rich format you see below. Please consider following me to make sure you receive these daily updates
Monday, 10/27:
With NC's early voting period (which began on 10/23) now half-way complete, the early news is great: despite long lines at the polls, voting is heavy, and compared to the 2010 mid-term (in which Republicans stole our state), Democrats and their traditional affinity groups (minorities and women) are strongly outpacing the voting performance of Republicans and unaffiliated voters - the latter of which can often tilt Republican.
have republicans put themselves in their own trick bag? they kill early voting because it traditionally showed the Black voters out numbering them and White voters my have been to lazy to get out early, so reinstate and get the republican vote out but it seems they are still being outnumbered.
