make sense because early voting, in particular, is popular with voters who tend to support democrats. consider florida. in the last election in florida, a clear majority of the african-americans who cast a ballot cast their ballot early. more than half the african-americans in florida who voted voted early. 1 million-plus african-american voters. they voted in person and early. by percentage in florida, only half as many white voters did that. so early voting mattered to african-american voters in florida more than it did to other voters. and early voting was crucial to barack obama s victory in florida. likewise, in ohio, african-americans in the cleveland area make up just over a quarter of the population. but they cast more than half that county s early ballots in 2008. barack obama won cleveland by 39 points. in the columbus area, african-americans make up just a fifth of the population, but they were a third of that county s early voters. barack obama won columbus by 20

where early voting went up in 2008, when it grew, all of these states flipped from red to blue. from choosing the republican nominee in 04 to choosing the democratic one in 2008. the percentage of people voting early went up and perhaps coincidentally mr. obama won. in colorado, in florida, iowa, nevada, new mexico, north carolina, virginia, all these states who had gone for george bush in the previous election, when early voting increased, the democrat running for president won. empirically, it would appear that early voting is at least correlated with democrats doing well. you cannot say that early voting causes democrats to do well, but it is apparently linked by circumstance. and empirically the link would make sense because early voting, in particular, is popular with voters who tend to support democrats. consider florida. in the last election in florida, a clear majority of the african-americans who cast a ballot cast their ballot early. more than half the african-americans in f
