    Awesome statistics! Great to see so many people involved in the process.

    One thing, could you provide some clarification about what the percentages mean? I think I have it figured out, but a short explanation would help everyone.

    Thanks!

    does seem enough people were eager to vote early either so they didn’t have to worry about lines on Nov. 4 or fear that they’d be scrubbed off the voter rolls by overzealous politicos.

    It’s good to tell all the folks calling me to hang up, I’ve voted. Unfortunately it doesn’t stop the ads from appearing on my TV screen.

    yea can’t wait for the ads to stop, but this is awesome to see.

    seems to really favor the obama campaign and their push on early voting here seems to have paid off.
