Early Voting Requests Give Democrats Edge in North Carolina (Clinton: house, registered)

[ozmoe571]

From an AP story filed Sept. 20:

"In North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump, more than 53,000 voters had requested ballots, and 2,939 had been returned, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. That's up from 47,313 ballots requested during a similar time frame in 2012.

Broken down by party, Democrats made up 40 percent of the ballots returned so far compared to 33 percent for Republicans. At this point in 2012, Republicans were running slightly ahead, 43 percent to 38 percent, in ballots submitted. Republican Mitt Romney narrowly won the state that year and it's difficult to see how Trump could accumulate the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House without winning North Carolina."

Early ballots: Clinton sees strength in NC but lags in Iowa

Are they assuming that people are voting according to their registered parties? And what about unafilliated voters?
