Meanwhile, Jim Geraghty’s hearing some interesting anecdotal evidence about turnout in New Jersey:
A trusted source tells me that as of noon, total turnout in the GOP the swing districts in NJ is significantly outpacing turnout in Democrat districts. The turnout ratio is not quite two to one, but it’s not that far from it.
Now, this should NOT be interpreted as ipso facto evidence that Chris Christie is going to win. Democratic districts may have more voters show up later in the day. This isn’t an exit poll, and we have no idea how the folks in any of these districts are voting; we just know that they’re showing up and voting.
PolitickerNJ is hearing similar numbers: "Overall turnout in New Jersey's largest city is hovering near 30 percent of where it was last year when Barack Obama ultimately racked over 77,112 votes, according to Democratic Party sources on the ground."
Around midmorning, I heard a strikingly low percentage for projected statewide turnout. Politico quoted Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray, "If turnout dips below 47 percent, it’s minorities not showing up."
What I heard was pretty well below that threshold, but I want to hear it from a few others before I throw it out there...
No worries..........the absentee votes will total just enough for the D to win.....ACORN figured that way is much easier than trying to get the lazy idiots up off the couch.

30% as of now, I guess.
Is it compared to Obama at the same time of day? Because 30% of the voting population by 3PM probably isn't bad, as I'd assume most will show up closer to the close of business hours.
At any rate, if this keeps then it just perpetuates my hypothesis that without Obama's name somewhere on the ballot, many of those who voted basically because of him in '08 will not show up to vote for other people.

you really think ACORN will do that considering that they are in hot water for doing what they did and it was all on tape? I mean if this had happened six months ago I could understand but, with what just happened I don't know. But, then again we are talking ACORN here.
