27 Million Votes Already Cast, 100M To Go!

The Associated Press is reporting that there have been 27 million votes already cast (out of an estimated total of 125 million expected votes) and that Democrats have vastly outnumbered Republicans in early voting states.

Indeed, Election Day is becoming a misnomer. About 27 million absentee and early votes were cast in 30 states as of Saturday night, more than ever. Democrats outnumbered Republicans in pre-Election Day voting in key states.

That has Democrats — and even some Republicans — privately questioning whether McCain can overtake Obama, even if GOP loyalists turn out in droves on Tuesday. Obama may already have too big of a head start in critical states like Nevada and Iowa, which Bush won four years ago.

Previous polls have shown that Obama is leading by anywhere from 10 to 15 points among those who voted early this year.
