Early Voting Numbers Look Good for Democrats

"Democratic efforts to turn out the young and nonwhite voters who sat out the 2010 midterm elections appear to be paying off in several Senate battleground states. More than 20 percent of the nearly three million votes already tabulated in Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa have come from people who did not vote in the last midterm election," according to an analysis of early-voting data by The Upshot.

1. Doesn't early voting always look good for Democrats?

For some reason, Republicans only vote on Election Day. They hate early voting.

2. Yes, possibly but lets see on Wednesday....

4. Republicans don't have to worry about vote suppression

only frightened , cowardly Repubs engage in that sort of thing.
They don't have to worry about waiting 9 hours in line on a workday

3. This is very good news for CO...assuming we get the early

votes. Just read some turnout percentages from 2012 and CO had a whopping 71% turnout !
