NC Early voting is simply amazing. I've tried to go to three different places across Charlotte today
And the lines almost a mile long at every one of them. Never seen anything quite like this.

6. Great news re the youth vote!
We've heard they aren't voting. Maybe they're just waiting to the last minute to vote. Just so long as they vote, I'm thrilled.

8. While I'm an exception (a 20-something that voted on Tuesday)
I bet a lot of my peers are waiting until the last minute. I wouldn't be counting out "the youth vote" yet. That jump that you cited supports my thinking.

9. Extended hours today in 1/2 NC Counties; get in line!!
Half of NC counties are extending hours today because of the long lines. Check to see if Mecklenburg was one that voted to extend hours today.

If you think early voting has been a madhouse; wait til Tuesday! :D
