Turnout Report Thread
Try to keep this thread relatively free of chit-chat and OT stuff. Questions about a report are fine, as long as they're seeking additional information about it.
Please post your personal turnout reports, and vibe-type stuff. If you know, please contrast what you're seeing (or what you know based on actual vote count) with 2008.
Blehzor mentioned that Pasco County, Florida, is providing real time information on who's voted, as far as R/D/I. Thusfar, Republicans are swamping Democrats 82,000 to 66,000.
In 2008, McCain won but fairly narrowly -- 110,000 to 104,000, or 51.2% to 47.7%.
I'm going to guess the 41,000 "Other" voters are breaking Romney 3:2 (or better) as well.
Just one county, of course. But it appears the enthusiasm gap is real.
Now, given the profile of Democrats, you have to figure that a greater proportion of them will be voting after work, instead of before.
But these are big numbers. Even ignoring the "Other" voters, even assuming all Democrats vote for Obama (surely there are more Democratic defectors than Republican defectors), in this one county, Team Red is already +10,000 over 2008.
Colorado: Lady in Black (who is voting with her ladyparts to send TFG packing) reports, via Rush Limbaugh's facebook page:
HUGE NEWS:
Arapahoe and JeffCo (swing CO counties that went Obama) have GOP outvoting D by substantial margin
More here.
Adams County, CO, is on track to go R for the first time since 1984.
