1. It would have been interesting to

compare first day absentee requests in 2010 and 2014. I hope it keeps up for sure.

2. It's on there you have to read the article in full

It is saying there is a drop off in the republicans early absentee voting.Who would have figured my be they aren't as enthusiastic as the media and Republican leaders think

3. Didn't see any actual results there...

Just mail-in requests. Sure registration is up, but no actual votes reported, no?

Don't to be a Debbie Downer, but are there actual numbers here, or just ballot requests?

4. Way too early for voting results, yeah data is for mail-in ballot requests.

There's likely a correlation with requests and ballots actually returned. Requests are at least in indicator of intent to participate in the ballot, I assume.

As always, the proof is in the pudding. Yet this seems a positive, early factoid.
