East TN (Knoxville) Early Voting up 26% over 2000

[Diana52]

Local NPR radio station reported that 11,000 early voted, yesterday, and that the total early votes is up 26% from 2000.

I think this type of increase has to be a good sign for Democrats.

This election is ours if we continue to get out the vote.

4. East TN is traditionally very Republican

but is more mixed now than it used to be. Liberal Democrats are becoming stronger in this former Republican stronghold.

5. East TN

Yes, East, TN is traditionally Republican.

It's the numbers, I find interesting.

I believe TN will remain Red, but I'm hopeful that voter increase will be this high everywhere.
