There are 720,694 early in-person ballots processed by the State Board of Elections in NC as of this morning.  We finally have enough leverage–and enough days–to compare the turnout rates and trajectory to previous elections.

Signs of a rising Democratic tide, at least in this one state, appear to be accurate.  The gap between the 2008 rate and the 2012 rate widened for the first three days of early in person voting and has held steady since then.  The GOP, by comparison, is not doing much better in 2012 than they did (as a proportion of identifiers) in 2008.

We’ll be updating these graphics every few days as early voting continues.
