GA Final Early Vote Stats Are Mindbogglingly "Blue"
Early voting ended yesterday and nearly 2 million Georgians voted, 60% of the 2004 election total and 3X the 2004 early vote percentage!!! These numbers are so huge that they setup a Democratic win if they can keep up the turnout on election day which seems very likely.
GA - Final Early Voting Stats
Total - 1,994,990 (+227,000) - nearly triple the average of the last 2 weeks.
- 2004 General Election Turnout - 3.3 Million
African American/Latino/Asian - 700K/ 15K / 11K - 726 K - 82,000 African American votes Thurs. alone!!
- 833K (25%) African Americans Voted in 2004 - 88/12 for Kerry
- 128k Latinos (4%) voted in 2004 - 56/44 for Bush. If Latinos go 2-1 for Obama as the polls indicate this could add another 75-100,000 votes for Obama. Latinos will be election day voters it appears.
AA - 35.1%, 700K vs. 833K (25%) in all of 2004. A 40% increase thus far. If this 35% figure holds up that is nearly 400,000 additional AA votes alone.
Non White % - 36.5% - Holding steady - Target is 30%+ to win the election - this number is the key to watch and after 2 full weeks looks like a trend.
We are now at 60.2% of the total 2004 vote when 20.2% voted early an 300% increase.
1.45 Million more people have already voted early than in 2004.
Hold on for a GA going blue surprise!!!
