North Carolina Early Voting Update - 10.19

Good morning, election followers. We kick off Saturday mornings with the last seven days of net change in NC voter registrations:

🔴Republicans: +8,746

🔵Democrats: +7,126

🟡Others: +18,742

Today, Republicans flipped the numbers, leading the in-person voting period by 691 votes. With two weekend days ahead, Democrats will take the lead and possibly return it next week. We're on a see-saw to start.

It goes without saying, but Democrats cannot go into election day with a raw turnout deficit; I do my best to stay measured and grounded with all possibilities ahead, but "Democrats are waiting to outvote Republicans on election day in North Carolina" is not one of them.

Early on, NC is starting to shape up like Georgia. White and Republican out of the gate. Let's see what kind of lead Democrats can build over the next two days and whether they begin relinquishing it again on Monday.

Complete breakdowns of numbers are updated through today on the NC Sheet, including county breakdowns.
