Some Early Voting Numbers

Here are some of the early voting numbers from battleground states (and Louisiana), courtesy of CNN:

North Carolina (as of 10/31):
Democrats: 1,092,687 (52.3%)
Republicans: 615,184 (29.6%)

Florida (as of 10/31):
Democrats: 1,532,200 (45.6%)
Republicans: 1,283,554 (38.2%)

Louisiana (as of 10/29):
Democrats: 156,084 (58.5%)
Republicans: 75,818 (28.4%)

Iowa (as of 10/29):
Democrats: 193,600 (48.3%)
Republicans: 114,637 (28.6%)

New Mexico (as of 10/30):
Democrats: 86,757 (53.4%)
Republicans: 53,490 (32.9%)

Colorado (as of 10/31):
Democrats: 488,575 (37.8%)
Republicans: 465,869 (35.9%)

So, Democrats are vastly outnumbering Republicans in early voting, even in solid red states like Louisiana. Republicans will probably come out in large numbers in states like Louisiana, North Carolina and Florida and close the gap, but these numbers are impressive for the Obama campaign and show that they have a large advantage in enthusiasm and get-out-the-vote programs.
