Yes, it really is getting close to the end — people are now voting and this is when it gets really exciting.
The AP publishes a roundup of key early voting states from around the country.
The numbers are astonishing (and most early voting started Monday):
About 12 percent of the state’s [Georgia] roughly 5.6 million registered voters have already cast ballots for the Nov. 4 general election. Statewide on Friday 55,709 people voted.
Nearly 8.5 percent of Colorado’s 3.2 million registered voters have already cast ballots by mail or at early-voting polling places.
There are long lines and the state is adding machines and workers in Florida.
CNN suggests that the numbers of folks coming out now to vote suggest that this may be another record-breaking turnout year. Which has got to redound the the Dems benefit, since Ds have the registration advantage this cycle.
And why doesn’t Delaware have early voting provisions?
UPDATE: Gallup is tracking the numbers of people voting and so far 10% of registered voters have done so.
