N.C. early voting continues at breakneck pace By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer Oct 18,2008
Raleigh, N.C. — Another 100,000 North Carolina voters cast a ballot in the second day of early voting, sustaining a breakneck pace that began when polls opened Thursday, elections officials said Saturday.
Braving hours-long lines, voters eager to cast a ballot amid presidential, Senate and governor's races that are too close to call surged to the polls in record numbers. State Board of Elections figures show that some 214,000 voters have now voted at one-stop sites in North Carolina.
The numbers have clearly favored Democrats. Some 62 percent of voters who have cast a ballot in early voting are registered with the party. Only 22 percent are registered Republicans.
By comparison, about 46 percent of all registered voters in the state are declared Democrats, while 32 percent are with the GOP.
...Early voting goes through Nov. 1.
