I've spoken with a lot of people who are voting for the first time in this election. Most groups have been working on voter registration since last year, plus we had an open presidential primary. It's disappointing to me that so many people don't vote. 3M~ is a lot.
Wake County: 102.3% of total 2016 turnout
Mecklenburg: 103.6%
Durham: 104.6%
Buncombe: 101.1%
New Hanover: 100.6%
Durham, Mecklenburg, and Wake account for almost 25% of NC’s total population.
Holy cow.
Those seem like overwhelming #’s to overcome for the red areas. Especially if they didn’t turn out in early voting as polling suggest. I imagine there at least has to be a good chunk of voters in these counties who will add to those totals.
I’m also excited and optimistic about Georgia and even sort of excited about Texas. The turnout in Harris County (a giant county with over 4.7 Million people) are posting staggering #’s of turnout

I think it's simply human nature that some people tend to just flake out and voting is no exception.
I think there are about 100,000 absentee ballots left to count, so it depends if they are Democrat or Republican. The ballots need to be postmarked by Election Day and received by November 12.
