The Official Absentee & Early Voting Reports Thread

The Ohio absentee numbers are beginning to look grim for Obama.

2008

D:  33.31%

R:  19.07%

2012 (10/9)

D:  30.03

R:  24.06

The gap has been closing bit by bit.

They don't have party registration in Ohio, so comparing the two is disengenous.

They had the same registration type in 2008, so the comparison is quite legitimate.  They do have party registration, but it is not strong and can be changed on primary days.

AFAIK you are only registered with a party in Ohio if you voted in the primary for it in either 2010 or 2012. The dems did not have a contested primary in 2012 so comparing it to 2008, when they did, is just silly.
