Tally: Is Your State Early Voting? If so, is it Red or Blue?

[TexasSissy]

Me first:

TEXAS - YES, EARLY VOTING STARTED 10/18. DEFINITELY VERY RED.

[napi21]

Here in Ga. early voting starts next Mon. 10/25, and yes, it's red!

But I'm still hoping! There has been a very hard registration drive in Ga., and a lot of people have moved here in the last 4 years.

1. NC, early voting, pink state

[Supersedeas]

32. early with some confusion in Mecklenburg County

[Misunderestimator]

2. FLORIDA, Yes... and I sense it turning a nice shade of blue

though where I live is quite red.

[TexasSissy]

11. Powder blue will do. Any shade of blue!

[omnithrope]

3. Yep, TX. Very, very red.

5. Texas is very red, but

The counties with the highest early voter turn out are more Dem then the rest of the state.

[Warpy]

4. NM started yesterday, long lines, record numbers for early voting

and lots of bitching about Bush in the line I was in when the election offical wasn't within earshot. Oh, and lots of questions about voting a straight ticket.

Shoot, if this keeps up, we may actually be rid of Heather Wilson (R-Harpy).

NM, as usual, is an island of sanity surrounded by states chock a block full of wingnuts.

6. Let's hope N.C. is turning Blue

I think if Bowles Wins, that will be a Kerry win.

[Diana52]

7. Tennessee-Red

Early voting started last Wednesday (13th). Newspaper said today, that 10% of the county has already voted. Numbers are way up.

[DemFromMem]

23. Tennessee might be pink, but sadly, not likely to be blue

Voting here in Memphis is not as high apparently as in more Republican parts of the state.

[Awsi Dooger]

8. Nevada, yes as of 10/16, slightly red last time

Tossup now

[Bronco69]

9. Texas

Yes, very red, but I won't give up hope. :-)

[lachattefolle]

10. AZ-supposedly red but we shall see

[demzilla]

26. Am told by a party insider

that according to the party's information, Dems are keeping pace with Reps in early voting so far. This has never been the case before. We have a huge field operation that's been pushing early voting this time.

If we stay even in early voting, it may be an indication that there could be an upset in the making here.

[lachattefolle]

29. Turning AZ blue would be wonderful. I did my part.

Voted absentee from home, hoo boy, love the no excuses absentee voting here. I live near Ft. Huachuca and sometimes the area seems totally populated by * devotees. All the neighbors have B/C signs polluting their yards. And the majority of bumper stickers are pro-* Ugh. I have two Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers but it feels like a drop in the bucket around here. It's good to know we are holding our own in early voting. Thanks for the morale booster!!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. Washington - mostly absentee - probably blue.

One day, perhaps in '08 it will turn green.

[orpupilofnature57]

13. The empire state, may it always hate megalomaniac's *

ARRON BURR had the right idea, just too violent.

[AmerDem]

14. Pa. has no early voting

I'm expecting massive lines come election day. I'll try to get an early start.

[AirAmFan]

28. I've never lived in PA, but I've seen contrary info. It may be wrong, but

it says people can vote early in PA either in person or absentee by mail. The catch is, a bit more paperwork is required than in other states. Punch in your zipcode at http://www.ezvote.org , or see http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1127206

[AmerDem]

31. absentee yes but

I phoned my local office and was told we have no early voting. What I meant by early voting was going in now and casting a vote, much like Florida.

[Chili]

15. Ohio - no - only absentee

...and absentee voting is not "open," you have to have a legitimate reason (elderly, handicapped, in hospital, out-of-town for business, etc.)

[AirAmFan]

30. Are you SURE? See post #28

[Carla in Ca]

16. CA.. has early voting but

We voted absentee today. As blue as the Pacific Ocean.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

17. Tallahasse voting heavy and Democratic

Tallahasse voting heavy and Democratic


10,000 at Edwards Rally Sunday 10 Republicans showed up to protest

[TexasSissy]

18. Whoa! That's good news.

[Blue_Roses]

19. Arkansas and

yes I voted today--long line out the door!
:bounce:

[Tom Kitten]

20. Oregon started 10/15, vote by mail...

they don't publicize voting results until after the polls close, though, but I have a very definite feeling Oregon is Blue this year, one (out of four) recent polls notwithstanding!

[kostya]

21. I assume you mean the Riley poll, it was bogus

It only had about a 400 count sample. I'd never even heard of them before. We have been blue for months now. That's why I feel safe going to Ohio to help them out there next week. - K

[Tom Kitten]

22. yes that's the one...

It had Bush up by 48-43 which was totally contrary to the others which show a safe 8-10 point lead for Kerry...

[genius]

24. California - Blue

[billie_]

25. Miami Florida, yep, early voting....

swing state

[nonconformist]

27. Kentucky is looking mighty red, and no early voting nt
