Early Voting Results: More Women Voting in North Carolina & Florida

[ffr]

As the early voting period winds down, more data is coming out that breaks down the demographics of the electorate, including those in the key states of Florida and North Carolina. Both of those states are seeing more women voters heading to the polls early. This could prove advantageous for Hillary Clinton, who is leading Donald Trump nationally among women. Florida has 29 electoral votes, while North Carolina has 15.

In Florida, 4.5 million voters have already submitted their ballots, as of November 2. Data from ElectionSmith* shows that 55 percent of those who voted are women and they have cast over 60 percent of all votes by registered Democrats so far.

However, ElectionSmith also notes that 75,000 more Republican women have voted than Republican men as well. More women voters with no party affiliation also voted more than men voters without a party affiliation by 22,000.

Exit polls from the 2012 election showed that 55 percent of the Florida electorate were women. Barack Obama won Florida women against Mitt Romney, 53-26. Heavy.com

More women than men voting? (see below) Hmmm. This ought to be good.

* Women have cast nearly 1/2 a million more early votes in Florida than men so far.
