Hillary’s VP, Sen. Tim Kaine, Tells Ohioans 2016 Election In ‘The Palm Of Their Hands’

“Voter turnout in Franklin County, home to state capital Columbus, is robust with more than 9,300 votes cast in person in the first four days, a 80 percent boost over the same period in 2012. Democrats have invested heavily in vote by mail efforts, and that appears to be paying off. The five Ohio counties with the largest vote by mail requests so far are Cuyahoga [home to Cleveland], Franklin, Hamilton [home to Cincinnati], Montgomery [home to Dayton] and Summit. Together they account for more than 40 percent of current ballot requests across the entire state. These five counties are likely to go for Hillary Clinton by similar or larger margins than President Obama’s 2012 results.”

Indiana: Democrats leading the early voting surge according to survey

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — With the excitement surrounding the election, it should be no surprise that early voting numbers are up.

In Marion County, the clerk’s office is averaging about 900 voters per day. At this point in 2012 it was closer to 700.

According to the WISH-TV/Ball State Hoosier survey, one particular party has more early voters.

When the 800 Hoosiers surveyed were asked who they plan to vote for, about 43 percent of them said Donald Trump, while 37 percent said Hillary Clinton.

But when asked if a person had already early voted the results flipped.

Trump had only 29 percent of early voters in the survey while Clinton climbed ahead to 59 percent.

After looking at other races in the survey, it appears democrats are casting their ballots earlier than republicans.

Matthew, I certainly hope you are not beginning to tire in the crusade to keep USMB updated on the progress of this election. How undemocratic of you that would be. Stick to it lad, only 18 days to go, give or take. I would offer to help, except, I do not have a dog in this fight. Simply put, I could not care any less. Americans will receive that which they have earned and deserve.

I am an undecided voter holding an absentee ballot. I have no idea who to vote for. Whats the best argument to sway my vote?

Trump is mentally and emotionally unstable, morally bankrupt, no integrity, vile, racist, and a man who statistically lies much more than he tells the truth.

OK, so that's the kind of stuff that has caused me to hesitate. I have been leaning toward Trump and wanted him to give me a way to overlook stuff like that (of course, I don't quite agree with the level of your descriptions of those tendencies). And guess what -- TODAY he did that! Get a transcript or youtube (Drudgereport) of his speech today and it was awesome! The Gettysberg speech should make the difference for us wavering. Look at what he is going to do for the country. Look beyond what others want you to dwell on. I have my answer now, I am sending my ballot in for TRUMP!

Check out the thread on Trump's Oct 22 speech on what he'll do in the 1st 100 days. That will make up your mind.

Early voting started today in Nevada. I still haven't received my sample ballot and am trying to figure who and what I want to vote for in the downballot sections such as Initiates, State positions, and judges. I will vote next week for certain.

Ralston:

Clark County turnout record for the first day of early voting was 33,000 in 2012. They are likely to beat that this time around. Most likely bad news for Trump, but we'll have to see the party breakdown

I am in no big rush to vote. Gives others a chance for their false hopes. Keeps them on their toes and chewing their finger nails.
