Just a teaser before MattTX comes out with the next edition of his wonderful series of Diaries.
African American votes (200,766) passed Republican votes (195,719). This is early voting and absentee.
African American voters are now 31% of all North Carolina voters so far. I guess they are not enthusiastic this cycle.
Total votes cast to date: 647,927
Democrats: 331,959 51.23%
Republicans: 195,719 30.21%
Unaffiliated: 119,141 18.39%

61,000 more Republican voters than 2008.
37,000 more Unaffiliated voters than 2008.
