There’s only one way Democrats can interpret the early results from early voting in North Carolina
According to Democracy North Carolina, “one-stop early voting is off to a record-shattering pace for midterm elections and the largest group casting ballots are white Republican men.”
Another way to look at it: So far, about equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans have voted. In 2008, Democrats had about a 20-point advantage in early voting.
Yikes!
I can predict the Democratic spin: (a) This is only three days. (b) Most early-vote sites haven’t opened. (c) Our turnout program hasn’t kicked in yet.
True, true and true. But it better kick in soon – and big.
