Early voting: Half of U.S. begins voting by tomorrow... Advantage Dems

Given the way most polls are trending right now, I would have to think the earlier we get votes tied up, the better off we'll be. Before something happens which may change voter's minds.

"By NBC's Kyle Inskeep
Election Day may be Nov. 6th, but with President Obama grabbing a lead nationally and in key swing states, Americans are already starting to vote.

Idaho, South Dakota, and the crucial swing state of Virginia are the first states to begin early, in-person voting today.

Also today, absentee voting begins in Minnesota, West Virginia, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Georgia, Arkansas, Idaho, and Maryland, bringing the total number of states already accepting ballots to 13.

Twelve others -- South Carolina, New Jersey, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Delaware, Louisiana, and Missouri -- will begin absentee or early voting Saturday.

That means, by tomorrow, half the country will be casting votes."

If this does not turn into a rout for President Obama, that is demonstrable proof that the rethug terroristic vote suppression squads are in full operation mode. At LEAST 90% of the votes should go to Obama if everything were fair and balanced. OOPS... well, screw it. WE can say "fair and balanced" because we actually MEAN it.

Republicans need to be destroyed with complete, utter prejudice. No question.
