2. How many people voted there in the 2016 presidential election?

What is going to be the most interesting is to see how much turnout is up over last time.

4. I don't have all the numbers

But will try to find out. I DO know that in 2016, the total number of mail-in votes was around 192,000. That total has already been blown out of the water with 18 days to go!

5. Voters in North Carolina have cast 18.7% of the votes that they did in the 2016 election.

Nationally, voters have cast 16% of the total votes counted in the 2016 general election

7. In 2016

In NC, there were 4,741,564 votes cast in the presidential election. Just over 3 million voters cast ballots early, either absentee by mail or in-person early voting. We have already had more than double the number of mail in ballots this year, with 18 days to go.

6. 3rd party vote looks to be totally insignificant

Just happen to be watching an anti-Tillis ad as I type this: "Carolina is the last thing on his mind."
