COLORADO
Early voting is high at the moment; with 13 days to go, early votes are 22.2% of 2004 overall turnout.

FLORIDA
Statewide early voting has been open since Monday, In three days, there have been 470,849 early voters, by the following partisan breakdown:

D) 54.5%
R) 30.5%
I) 15.0%

Quite a good start. In Republican-leaning Brevard County, which went for Bush 58% to 42%, Dems currently comprise 53.5% of early voters, to 33.2% for Republicans.

GEORGIA
Fully 826,000 have voted so far, which is over 150,000 more than voted early in 2004.

Of these, nearly 36% are African-American, a black turnout significantly higher than that seen in 2004, when 25% of voters were African-American.

Also, 56% of early voters are women (who lean more Democratic than men do), compared to 41% for men, and 2% third-party.

NORTH CAROLINA

Early voting is already at two-thirds of 2004 levels. Here are the partisan breakdowns:

D) 56.3% (48.6% in 2004)
R) 27.1& (37.4% in 2004)
I) 16.6% (14.4% in 2004)

Also inspiring for Dems: the male/female numbers:

Men: 42.8% (56.6% in 2004)
Women: 56.3% (42.9% in 2004)

Tha’s almost a complete flip.

TENNESSEE
Early voting is also exceptionally high here - already 600,000 people have voted. This is perceived to be a strong McCain state, so that’s an interesting data point.

If it’s the strong pro-Obama trend spiking early voting in other states, Tennessee might surprise us. Alternatively, if early voters in Tennessee are in fact going for McCain in projected numbers…well, at least he inspires fervent fandom somewhere. Only 49 states to go…
