According to Supervisor of Elections’ office, Saturday was their busiest day for early voting. On Twitter, the SOE staff posted, “We ended with a record of more than 56,000 early voters – up 29% over 2012 and +12% over 2008!”
The combined Democrat and Other voter was only 67 votes fewer than the GOP total, which could mean Hillary Clinton may do better than Obama’s 39 percent share in 2012.
Breakdown:
REP 46,442
DEM 32,272
OTH 14,103
