TIME Mag: Early Voting May Favor Obama in Texas

Early Voting May Favor Obama

"Early voting in Texas does not bode well for Hillary Clinton," according to Time. "It is up dramatically in counties with large African-American populations, as well as those with more highly educated and affluent voters -- in other words, in areas that would be expected to trend toward Obama."

In those heavily hispanic counties that Clinton is counting on, not so much.

1. I've seen polls that show early voting at a dead heat

I really wish some of these early voting precincts would release data to the public about how many people have already voted. Obviously they can't tell us who they are voting for, but it would be nice to see the turnout numbers.

3. there are summaries posted here almost every night by a guy

who has a link to county pages. Basically early voting is expected to hit almost 1,000,000 and that it remained constant every day. One poll I saw showed that the first couple of days it was older folks but newspaper accounts send that the voters were getting younger.

4. Do you have any idea of the guy's name?

5. I forgot sorry here are some articles I found after the first

couple of days. The last one had a very careful explanation and graph which details how the delegate distribution favors Obama demographics.

9. just an fyi

Your title can have two meanings.

1. The fact that early voting is possible favors Obama
2. The actual early voting results have favored Obama.

I'm pretty sure you mean #2 right?
