NC Early Voting Stats: More Democrats Already Cast Ballots

Early voter turnout shows of the 646,000 North Carolinians who had already cast their ballot in this election before Wednesday, 47 percent were registered Democrats, compared to only 33 percent Republican.

That's nearly 90,000 more Democrats than Republicans.

This year North Carolina lawmakers, including Tillis, reduced the number of days offered for early voting. Hagan believes that could work in her favor.

Pulling stunts just before the election doesn't help if most of the people have already voted.
