Early voting is up sharply in North Carolina and other battleground states
Early voting is running well above 2022 levels in several battleground states, with North Carolina's accepted ballots up 37 percent, The Hill reports.
Early voting is rising in several key battleground states, with 11 days left before the U.S. midterm elections, according to The Hill and The Guardian.
North Carolina has accepted more than 1.2 million early ballots, The Hill reports. That is 37 percent more than at the same point before the 2022 midterms.
The Guardian reports that Democrats are voting at higher rates than Republicans in the early data. The Hill says the numbers give Democrats hope that their strength in midterm polling could become a turnout edge in November.
The Guardian says Democrats need a net gain of four seats to win back the majority in each chamber of Congress. Its figures are as of Friday.
