Reports: New Hampshire Turnout "Solid" But Not "Blow-Out"
In Virginia, 50% of the registered vote has already been cast through early voting and heavy voting in the morning. This is called a good sign for Obama -- but is it?
It is, I suppose, if Obama's cultists now have the rest of the day to vote two or three more times.
Not 50%... That came from Major Garret, citing, presumably, the Obama camp. The latest print report says turnout has been 30-40% of all registered voters-- with a projection for 75%.
I really don't know if you can straight-line project final turnout like that. What if it's a high but not ultra-high 65% turnout, but all of Obama's very enthusiastic voters voted early?
More anecdotes on voter turnout from Geraghty-- mixed bag. Some places it's "very, very heavy." In others, lines are short.
