I'm hearing that Romney's winning the I-4 corridor in Florida. If that's accurate, the Sunshine State goes to Romney.

Florida won't even be close.

In-person, early voting numbers down from 2008 in Cuyahoga County
Newsnet ^

Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 3:00:23 PM by Arthurio

CLEVELAND - The door has officially shut on early voting in Ohio, while we won’t know the results of those early ballots until shortly after the polls close at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night, we can look at the numbers to see who voted and who hasn’t.

First off, fewer people voted early in-person in Cuyahoga County this year compared to four years ago, off about 9,000 votes or 16.6 percent.

While much has been made about the reduced hours and lost weekend voting this year, the numbers remained on a pace ahead of 2008 heading into the final week, but trailed off dramatically over the last seven days.

Weather no doubt a factor with the remnants of Superstorm Sandy drenching northeast Ohio daily much of the last week. That being said, the final weekend of early voting in Cleveland saw around 800 fewer voters when compared to the final weekend in 2008.

In the end, 45,337 people voted early this year, including 2,826 people on Monday. That’s compared to 54,340 in 2008.

Combined with those voting by mail, there are roughly 250,000 votes in-house, ready to be tallied at the Cuyahoga County BOE when the polls close at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

While Democrats state the poll numbers show the early vote benefits them, it’s interesting to note as a percentage, the early vote reflects an uptick for Republicans compared to their early voting numbers in 2008.

As of the day before Election Day, Democratic early votes already in are at 89 percent of their ’08 number while Republicans are at 138 percent of their ’08 early vote total.

So how much of the vote is actually in and how many people will head to the polls? Well, if you were to compare the current Cuyahoga County totals to the actual voter turnout in 2008, Democrats have 37.6 percent of their final vote in ’08, Republicans are at 59.6 percent of theirs and non-partisans are at 26 percent of their vote.

Do you have the updated hard numbers of the actual early vote count? I have the ones, as of Saturday night (according to Karl Rove). The Dems were down 155,000 from '08; the GOP was up 120,000.

Bill Cunningham is reporting on Hannity's show that turnout in Hamilton County is HUGE for Romney. That's Cincinnati and other surrounding areas. If that goes for Romney, he gets Ohio, regardless of the Cleveland (Cuyahoga County) turnout for Obama.

Heard that.   If he is even 50% as right as this interview - landslide coming.

So far, so good. My concern now is Virginia. From an article I posted earlier, the Dem early voting is down in Richmond, Norfolk, and other Dem counties (I'll pull that article a bit later), while it's up in GOP areas (i.e. Hanover and others).

Per my picks, Romney needs to sweep the southeast (FL, NC, VA) and get Colorado and Ohio. I know Romney's up in early voting in Colorado.

That combination gets him 275 and the win.

Ohio shocker: GOP closes early voting gap, boosting Romney


In a remarkable reversal of fortune for President Obama in Ohio, the GOP has closed the huge gap in absentee ballot requests used by early voters that favored the Democrats and the president in 2008, setting up what one state analyst said could be a Mitt Romney blowout on Election Day.

While in 2008, 33 percent of the 1,158,301 absentee ballots went to Democrats and just 19 percent to registered Republicans, a 14-point gap, this year 29 percent are being requested by Democrats and 24 percent by Republicans, a five-point gap.

And in a sign that the enthusiasm of 2008 voters is depressed, just 638,997 absentee ballots have been requested, according to American Majority Action, which culled the statistics together from Ohio college professors who are tracking the state's absentee ballots used for early voting. The group provided Secrets with the details.

Even more dramatic, while the GOP has cut the Democratic advantage in early voting throughout the state, the changes favoring the Republicans in certain counties has been huge. In Franklin County, home to Columbus, for example, a 2008 Democratic advantage of 5 percent is now a 5 percent GOP advantage. In Cuyahoga County, home to Democratic Cleveland, the GOP has shaved six points off the Democrat's 2008 advantage. And in Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati, Republicans have expanded their 2008 advantage to 13 percent.

University of Dayton Professor Larry Schweikart told American Majority Action President Ned Ryun that the GOP gains favor Romney. "Although it is early, we will soon be at a point where--assuming Republicans vote for Romney--the Democrats will have to overwhelmingly win all the remaining early voting just to be even on November 6. But, given Ohio's voting history, if the numbers are even close after early voting, Obama will lose, and possibly lose big."

Ryun, whose group has opened voter registration efforts in Ohio and other swing states, said that the Buckeye State's efforts to clean up voter rolls has also played a part in tightening the gap. He said that 450,000 dead voters and duplicate registrations have been nixed, and the majority were Democrats.

"Considering Obama won the state by 263,000 votes, Ohio's cleaner rolls could make a big impact," Ryun said. He added, "The five largest counties in Ohio have all shifted at least 6 percent and as much as 27 percent to the Republicans since 2008. While the polls show an Obama lead, these real votes--assuming registered voters vote for their candidate--demonstrate a Republican shift since 2008."

Ryun sent this to Secrets from his analysis of Ohio early voting:

In 2008, there were 1,158,301 total absentee ballots requested, 33 percent registered Democrat and 19 percent registered Republican--a 14 point gap. So far in 2012, 638,997 ballots have been requested, 29 percent Democrat and 24 percent Republican--only a five point gap.

The Republicans have shrunk the gap nine percent overall since 2008, but when we examine key counties in Ohio, the numbers become even more dramatic.

--Champaign County: Was +3% GOP, now +23% GOP - 20 point shift.

--Columbiana County: Was +9% DEM, now +9% GOP - 18 point shift.

--Crawford County: Was +3% DEM, now +12% GOP - 15 point shift.

--Cuyahoga County: Was +36% DEM, now +30% DEM (GOP already has 6,000 more requests than in 2008) - 6 point shift.

--Erie County: Was +24% DEM, now +7% DEM -17 point shift.

--Franklin County: Was +5% DEM, now +5% GOP - 10 point shift.

--Greene County: Was +4% DEM, now +19% GOP - 23 point shift.

--Harrison County: Was +22% DEM, now +5% DEM - 17 point shift.

--Hamilton County: Was +7% GOP, now +13% GOP - 6 point shift.

--Licking County: Was TIED, now +16% GOP - 16 point shift.

--Montgomery County: Was +29% DEM, now +5% DEM - 24 point shift.

--Muskingum County: Was +1% DEM, now +16% GOP - 17 point shift.

--Pickaway County: Was +12% DEM, now +15% GOP - 27 point shift.

--Seneca County: Was +1% DEM, now +13% GOP - 14 point shift.

--Summit County: Was +33% DEM, now +6 DEM - 27 point shift.

--Wood County: Was +10% DEM, now +1% GOP - 11 point shift.

Athens County Election Officials: Morning Voter Turn Out Low
 WOUB Public Media ^ | Tue, Nov 6, 2012 2:10 pm | Brianna DiPilato

Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 4:10:52 PM by Smogger

Athens County election officials said voter turnout appears to be below average Tuesday morning.

Polling places located at City Hall and at Ohio University's Baker Center only a handful of people waiting in line to vote.

Officials at the Ohio University Division of Student Affairs said the low turnout could be because many Ohio University students are spending the morning waiting in line to obtain a proof of residency form in order to go vote.

Officials said the office has been filled with students since 8 a.m.

Voters like Ohio University freshman Casey Harchaoui said they were surprised at the low turnout.

"I was expecting a long line," she said. "I'm assuming most people might be in class this morning. I also think that most students aren't from Athens County and felt more comfortable filling out an absentee ballot in their home county.

Other voters like OU senior James Bohland think the low turnout is because of early voting.

"Every time I walked past the Board of Elections office there seemed to be a lot of people there," said Bohland.

According to officials at the Athens County Board of Elections 9,249 people in Athens County voted early this year either by mail or in person.

There are 47,856 registered voters in Athens County.

That is breaksdown to just over 19% of registered voters that voted early.

Ohio had almost 1.8 million people statewide cast their vote before Election Day.

The polls will be open until 7:30 p.m.

Steve Forbes: Romney Will Win Decisively (321 EVs)
 Forbes ^ | 11/06/2012 | Steve Forbes

Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 5:06:32 PM


Mitt Romney will win big tonight. His popular vote margin will be between 3 – 5%. He will win the Electoral College I believe by a vote of 321 to 217, and with luck, even more. He will win all of the states McCain carried in 2008 which will give him 180 electoral votes. He will also carry the three states that normally go Republican that in 2008 went for Obama – Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia. That brings him to 219. He will also take Florida, which will bring him to 248 votes. Although the Obama campaign will deny it, it effectively wrote off Virginia and Florida several days ago.

Despite intense efforts, Obama will lose both Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Ohio the voter turnout for Republicans will be more like 2004 instead of 2008. Southeastern Ohio has a number of evangelical voters and the area also has a coal industry. Romney should win the state by up to 200,000 votes. He will also win Pennsylvania where he has not been damaged by a long-lasting barrage of negative ads.

Romney should also win narrowly in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Iowa and Colorado. He even has a chance to take Nevada. That gives him 321 electoral votes.

Data the Romney Campaign is Looking At
NRO ^ | 11/6/12 | Rich Lowry

Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 5:47:03 PM by


This is what the Romney folks say is encouraging them. Passed along for what it’s worth:

CO:

Adams County (lean D county) – strong R turnout based on morning data – on track to win since first time in 1984.

AB/EV margins will be hard for them to overcome today. Right now – it’s a virtual tie.

Arapahoe (Swing County) – 4860 D, 5271 R – Election Day so far

Over 83% of the vote was AB/EV – Dem: 75653 Rep: 75812

Jefferson County (Swing) – 78738 D, 85378 R for AB/EV

Waiting on election day

Teller County (Hard GOP) – 173 D, 656 R for election day

Winning 5-1 with AB/EV – clearly outperforming 2008

Archuletta/ Moffatt – western slope counties where we needed to run up the score. Well here you go:

Archuleta County

175

57

Moffat County

253

49

IA:

Republicans are already over-performing their share of returned absentee ballots and early votes in 95 of Iowa’s 99 counties – including critical counties like Black Hawk, Cerro Gordo, Dallas, Des Moines, Dubuque, Johnson, Linn, Marion, Muscatine, Polk, Pottawattamie, Poweshiek, Sioux, Story, Wapello, Woodbury, and Winneshiek.

Republicans are even over-performing their share of ballots returned in 75 of 99 counties compared to 2004, the first time a Republican candidate carried Iowa in a presidential election since 1984, and are over-performing 2004 statewide by more than 3 points.

Suburban turnout is very high. Ankeny, Clive, and Urbandale precincts are seeing a lot of Election Day traffic. Those are Republican precincts.

NW Iowa counties which are hugely Republican but just never blew out turnout for McCain are voting in very large numbers. Those counties very fired up for Mitt.

Rural turnout high and we’re leading among rural Iowa voters.

Record low turnout in lefty Johnson County (Dems already voted all their base with early vote) – proving our point about cannibalizing their high propensity voters.

Republican precincts are turning out today, like we want it to be. Dem precincts are lighter but expected lighter because they’ve voted so many early.

FL:

Bay County, FL – which went 71 – 28 for GW Bush in ‘04 – is adding staff at voting locations because of overwhelming turnout.

Hialeah (FL), highest % Cubans & Cuban-Americans in America & regarded as “most GOP” b/c of vote history, reports lines around the block.

- 2 hour lines reported in Walton County, a county that voted 73.2% for George W. Bush in 2004 (21 points above the statewide percentage for Bush).

- Hour-plus lines reported in Escambia County, a county that voted 65.3% for George W. Bush in 2004.

- Long lines and Republicans outvoting Democrats by nearly two to one in traditional bellwether county Pasco (of which Jeb Bush famously said “as goes Pasco, as goes Florida” which George W. Bush won’t by 10 points in 2004.)

- Shorter wait times reported in Miami-Dade County – especially in Democratic precincts. Democrats usually win Miami-Dade by 10 pts or more. (Obama won it by 16 points in 2008.)

- LONG line is of Precinct 69 in Ft. Myers (Lee County). Breakdown of registered voters in that area is below: R: 1,314 D: 531

NH:

Over 90% of the vote is on the table for Election Day

Very high turnout in strong GOP towns of Pelham, Bedford, Merrimack, Atkinson, well surpassing 08 numbers. Estimates for Bedford have nearly 90% turning out, and it’s a 60/40 GOP Town.

Dems slightly behind or on par with 08 numbers. Concord not turning out, reports of small or nonexistent lines.

Bedford – a top 5 GOP town that gave McCain 59% in 2008 -reporting 800+ voters per hour w/anticipated turnout of near 90%

NV:

About even in Washoe for AB/EV – held them to where we needed to in Clark for the early vote.

Overall – Clark County is seeming to be lower than anticipated and we’re seeing strong turnout in the rurals. This is what we need to play ball to win.

OH:

Absentee and early vote activity is over 17 percent higher in counties McCain won than counties Obama won, compared to 2008.

Turnout is higher in counties and media markets McCain carried in ’08 than in counties and markets Obama carried.

There are 34 counties in Ohio that John McCain won where absentee and early vote turnout is over 120 percent of 2008. There are only 9 counties where Obama won four years ago where this is the case.

@HotlineJosh: Overall, early vote turnout OH up 2.44% in state. Down -4.1% in Obama/Kerry counties; up 14.39% in Bush/McCain counties.

GOP county turnout up

· Plain Dealer: Geauga election chief predicts 80 percent voter turnout today

· Geauga County early vote was 125% more than 2008 early vote

· McCain won Geauga County with 57% and Bush got 60% in ‘04

Dem county turnout down

· WOUB: Athens County Election Officials: Morning Voter Turn Out Low

· Athens County early vote was 10% less than 2008 early vote

· Obama won Athens County with 67%

PA:

Coal Country is coming out stronger than in previous elections according to data we’ve received.

Final AB #s of returns as opposed to requests is going to come in at about R+8 which would put it 1 pt to the right of 2010. 8pts to the right of 2008. (a small but telling number)

Northern Bucks County is coming out strong for GOP (this is a bellweather)

Western PA is turning out in historic numbers for a Presidential – remember this is coal country. They are not voting for Obama

Southcentral PA is turning out strong (traditional GOP stronghold)

VA:

In Staunton’s Ward 4 in 2008, 1450 people voted. As of 1:30 p.m. today , 1223 people had voted. McCain won this precinct 54.8 – 44.3.

By noon 972 votes had been cast in Elmont’s precinct 704 in Hanover County. In 2008, there were 1422 total votes cast in the precinct, which McCain won 68-30 in 2008.

In Democratic stronghold Charlottesville at 1 p.m., turnout was 36 percent of registered voters. Obama got 80 percent of the vote there in 2008.

In Democratic stronghold Martinsville at noon, turnout was out 34 percent of registered voters. Obama got 65 percent of the vote there in 2008.

Yancey Precinct In Augusta County has seen 1474 people vote as of 1 p.m., that’s 48 percent of the precinct’s registered voters. John McCain won Yancey Precinct 68 to 30 percent.

Bluefield media market and Withville we’re seeing 2 hour wait lines – this is coal country in VA. These are Romney voters.

WI:

Massive lines in Brookfield – a high 60’s GOP county – over 200 in line at 6:15am and polls did not open until 7.

We’re hearing reports of low turnout this morning in both Madison and Milwaukee.

BYE 333386!!!

[240 is Back]

Based on what?

Obama's only up about 84,000 on early voting. He was up 340,000 against McCain. Romney's right behind him and if Romney at least matches the turnout McCain got, he can surpass Obama in Ohio.

I thought romney was going to win all day long.  Told everyone I know "I smell a dewey upset..."
