What's the word on early voting? How many? Rep. or Dem.?

Inquiring minds want to know.

1. In most cases not obtainable data unless you have a state that

Requires party identification to vote, usually some primaries. So the next best chunk of data is where early votes are done, strong democratic county? Some data available is first time voter votes. In Illinois we must declare party for primary elections so that data is available. New voters or ones who never voted in a primary are list as "NPA", no party affiliated. I know in my county, as of Saturday, the county early vote tallies were approx. 4000 dems, 3,000 GOP, 4000 NPA. 11,000 broke all midterm election early voting records. Early voting in Illinois is today and Monday so those totals will grow. My own method to assess this vote is to look at the ratio of dems to GOP and use that ratio for NPA. There is a good chance I am underestimating the votes for democrats as NPA includes first time voters too and the enthusiasm is all on the democratic side.

4. The numbers don't tell the story. Yet. How many of this year's early

voting Republicans are the same ones who normally vote anyway, for instance? Lots of other unanswered questions.
