NC has 7.3M+ registered voters

Over half--53%--of NC's total registered voters having already "banked their ballot" for Nov. 3

Within party registrations:

Reg Democrats: 57% have voted
Republicans: 55%
Unaffiliated: 47%

#ncpol #ncvotes

2016's NC electorate saw 69% of registered voters cast ballots (total of 4.7M votes)

This year, 69% of 7.3M = 5M potential voters

If NC's Nov. 3 electorate is 5M (total # of ballots cast):

3.8M+ represents 77% of NC's potential electorate has already voted

#ncpol #ncvotes

It's likely that NC's registered voter turnout will now be higher than 69%.

If it's 72%, thats equal to 5.2M voters

If so, then NC is at 74% of the electorate with these 3.8M absentee ballots.

If it's 75% = 5.4M

If so, then NC is at 71% of that electorate.
