The numbers were wrong, sorry. Wrong at the source, checked the source's source and it showed different numbers.

1. Your figures are wrong. 26% have voted.

4. Yeah I just posted a response

I was questioning that too. It sounded way too high. If they got 65-70% of the registered people voting that would be great.

8. Sorry, source is incorrect

5. I wonder what the profiles were of the 26%

7. Sorry, source is incorrect

2. I rather doubt under 400,000 is 82% of the total considering that there were 1.5 million

voters for Kerry in 20004. That would be the lowest turnout of the primary.

9. Could that number mean that of all the early voters (100%),

82% voted in the dem primary and 18% voted in the republican primary?

10. Sorry, source is incorrect

3. Are you sure the percentage is that high?

Even in a presidential election that would be unheard of. I mean don't get me wrong, if that's true, I only have two words: holy crap!

13. Sorry, source is incorrect

6. Here's a link that your link links to

A bit more detail: http://ccpsblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/analysis-of-early-voters-in-north.html



In total, 486,786 valid early votes have been cast at this point with 398,635 (82%) of these being cast in the Democratic primary.

So (s)he is saying that 82% of those who have early-voted so far have voted in the Dem primary (as opposed to the Rep primary, I presume). That is a pretty interesting statistic...

11. That's GREAT news!

He projected an 8% win back when, course I'd take a win of 1 vote!

12. Put in the article referenced above, it's good....

Show's great early numbers...
