David Axelrod just said on CNN that there has been an influx of hispanic

registration of voters in battleground states and they have not identified as Democratic and Republican so they would not be counted as Democratic in early voting. So the estimates could be off as to democratic support because hispanics certainly are not going to vote for Trump.

And the tabs and breakdown to see who they are mostly voting for and it ain't Trump. In fact Hillary might end up out performing Obama in the Latino vote on election day .Latino Decision predicted last week she might get 74% up to 80% of that vote http://www.latinodecisions.com/files/7614/7794/1262/Wk7FullTracker.pdf

Early vote has a greater % of white voters in 2016 in NC and FL than they had at the same part of the cycle in 2012.

The scary thing is how much African-American turnout has dropped off. It's absolutely cratered in Florida, and is down sharply in NC too.

The national electorate looks to be whiter in 2016 than it was in 2008 or 2012.

However, they were registered at democratic events. They could be the real sleeper in the statistics we won't see until election night.

That their racist, xenophobic behavior will not be tolerated. I'm sickened by their deplorable acts and ideas. This is not what the U.S. of America is about no matter how they try to usurp and distort "patriotism".
I hope this results in an unprecedented blue landslide across the board. God knows most of the republican congressional stiffs need the boot out for their obstructionism of the last 8 years and their unwillingness to even lift a finger to stop this sickening charade.

You can assume that a good portion of GOP Hispanic voters will vote for Hillary. Therefore, you cannot just look at the number of GOP voters and assume them to be automatic Trump votes, given that a good chunk of them are Hispanic.

in Florida and North Carolina (AA mostly in that state). Also young people more likely to register as nonaffiliated who will go heavily for HRC.
