North Carolina - be amazed --no be blown away 1,090,808 already voted in one stop reg/vote

Something inspiring is happening in North Carolina. More AA have voted in early voting than all Republicans combined.

Never really discussed by the pundits as a possible swing state North Carolina has edged closer and closer to Obama in this election



What makes it possible for the people to express themselves and get truely involved in this election?

The best voter registration law in the country (if somebody has better I stand corrected)

Here it is from the Secretary of State for North Carolina


The deadline to register to vote in this State is 25 days before the day of the election. Forms that are received by the county board of elections office or postmarked by the deadline are accepted as valid applications for the upcoming election. Also, agency and DMV voter registration transactions that are completed by the deadline are accepted as valid for the upcoming election. Applicants will be notified by the county board of elections of their precinct and polling place assignments.

Individuals who miss the registration deadline, if qualified, may register in person and then vote at a one-stop voting site in the person’s county of residence during the one-stop absentee voting period, which begins the third Thursday before an election and goes through the last Saturday before an election.


People can register and vote in NC up to November 1st. That is real Democracy.

edited to add


If North Carolina continues this pace next week the campaign of McCain/Palin will be over before the first ballot cast on November 4th because without North Carolina they have no chance at 270 even with PA which is not even close for them.
