Early Voting Still Going Strong in North Carolina
Early voters line up Monday in Concord, N.C.
At this rate, no one will actually show up to vote on Election Day in North Carolina.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration. But so far more than 1.2 million people have already voted in North Carolina as of today. And so far, the numbers vastly favor Democrats – 771,000 to 396,109 Republicans.
If people were hoping to avoid long lines on Election Day, they’re not getting much of a reprieve. I stopped by several early voting sites in Cabarrus County, today, north of Charlotte, and found lines of an hour or two hours in a bitter mid-morning cold. This wasn’t even the pre-work, lunchtime or after-work rush.
Voters told me they felt a sense of urgency to get to the polls, given the excitement surrounding the election. Others wanted to make sure they had their say, in case they got busy on Election Day.
