The early voting looks fantastic for Democrats in NC
http://www.politicsnc.com/in-person-early-voting-has-ended/Additional Analysis (as of 2 PM):
In looking at the voters who were registered to vote in 2010 but didn’t vote in the mid-term four years ago, but did show up to cast an early ballot this year, we see some interesting numbers that could give us a clue on the ground game and interest level among the different groups of voters.
Among these 75,616 voters who cast 2014 in-person early ballots and were registered to vote in 2010 but didn’t vote in 2010:
40,986 are registered Democrats, representing 54 percent of these voters
17,892 are registered Republicans, representing 24 percent of these voters
16,597 are registered Unaffiliated voters, representing 22 percent of these voters
Among registered Democrats who cast 2014 in-person early ballots and were registered in 2010 but didn’t vote in that year’s mid-term election, 54 percent are black voters, with 42 percent white. Among registered unaffiliated voters, 77 percent are white, while 14 percent are black voters.
Additional Analysis (as of 5 PM):
Among the 2014 NC in-person early voters who were registered in 2010 but didn’t vote that year, fifty percent of these voters were in twelve counties (in order of the largest number of total voters): Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Cumberland, Forsyth, Buncombe, Gaston, Durham, Union, Iredell, Pitt, and Catawba counties.
For registered Democrats, half of their 40K votes came from Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Cumberland, Forsyth, Durham, Buncombe, Gaston, Pitt, Union, Wayne, and Orange counties.
For registered Republicans, half of their nearly 18K votes came from Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Union, Gaston, Iredell, Randolph, Buncombe, Catawba, Forsyth, Cumberland, Davidson and Wayne counties.
For registered unaffiliated voters, half of their 16K votes came from Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Buncombe, Forsyth, Cumberland, Union, Durham, Gaston, Orange and Iredell counties.

Most mid-term years, it is me and a bunch of sour looking old white people. In presidential years, it gets younger and more diverse. This year I stood in line with a group of teachers voting together in their school tee shirts (Tillis gutted their paychecks when he was in the General Assembly), a middle eastern immigrant, a few college age voters and a group of LGBT voters. I counted three vans used for GOTV in the parking lot. I asked the poll worker how busy it had been and he said they were on track to break records that day 
The sour looking Rs were there too, but they were seriously out numbered. So we shall see.....
voting that was turning D votes to R? I seem to recall someone saying they had to vote for the D four times before it stayed on D. I'm glad you're optimistic but to ignore the problems with NC's touch-screen voting problems has me scratching my head going
