"SNIP........................



Democrats have spent a shit-ton on GOTV efforts, and there's good evidence it's working.

In North Carolina, which permits early voting, 42,230 people had requested ballots as of Monday. Of that group, 17,364 did not vote in 2010, and among them, Democrats outnumber Republicans, 39 percent to 32 percent.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee reports that more than 21,000 Iowans who did not vote four years ago have already cast ballots: 53 percent of them are registered Democrats, 28 percent are unaffiliated, and 19 percent are Republicans.
More, from our own Taniel:

North Carolina Republicans have historically done well in mail voting. (In 2010, they cast 44 percent versus just 35 percent for Democrats.) But for now registered Democrats have requested slightly more absentee ballots, and they've also returned more ballots.

2. It's huge...and the cut backs in early voting are going to be

and issue in this election.

It looks very good......cautiously hoping these are all DEMS who are getting out there!

Lot's of effort to our College Students signed up and try to preserve places near campus to give them access being challenged by Repubs....but some judges decisions have helped....and "on the ground" efforts, also/
