6. The early voting record was "smashed" so says my hometown paper
There was a 400% increase over the year 2000's early voting in my county.

------------------

400% Durham County (NC) jump

With more than 46,000 One Stop, No Excuses voters, Durham County shattered the mark of 10,600 people who voted early in the 2000 presidential election, Durham County Board of Elections Director Mike Ashe said.

"That is roughly a 400-percent increase," Ashe said. "My thoughts are, 'Isn't this wonderful.' I still think we're going to have long lines and a huge, huge turnout on Tuesday."
