![]() Shelby (98,115) and Davidson Counties (94,115), the two bluest counties in deep-red Tennessee are also running #1 and #2 in the early and absentee voting so far. Nashville’s early voting has been up over 2,000% (not a typo) in its early turnout compared to 2014 which should give Democrats some reason to be hopeful. I suspect more counties will report the same soon. Going back to the early vote numbers reported by the Tennessee Secretary of State, some counties like Wilson, deep-red in its recent voting patterns, have already set an early voting record for a mid-term election with days to go. Again, if it’s correct, it’s not good for Democrats in the states surveyed. Maybe, but note the head of the group who did the original early vote analysis says he doesn’t agree with the NBC story which is the basis of the POST article.ĭon’t forget to click through in the attached story to see in detail the national early vote impact according to this analysis. Does that mean bad news for statewide candidates such as Phil Bredesen and Karl Dean? Who does this larger than expected early voting turnout help? This NASHVILE POST story seems to say it’s not Democrats. Staying with that average, the total early vote might go as high as 1.3 million by the end of November 1. Through 9 days that’s an average of close to 90,000 votes per day. Just over a week in, early voting is continuing statewide at levels so high the numbers look more like a presidential year than a mid-term election.Īs of Friday (including Thursday numbers) the statewide early vote and absentee total is 809,912.
