“Absentee Ballot Applications Down by Nearly Half in NC “

Michael McDonald: “The number of absentee ballot applications is down by nearly half from 2008. In 2008, election officials had received 37,539 applications compared to 20,695 in 2012, or 45 percent fewer applications. The number of applications from registered Republicans is down more than Democrats, which are also down. The percentage of registered Republicans declined by 55 percent while the percentage of registered Democrats declined 35 percent. Thus registered Republicans composed 51 percent of the earliest absentee ballot applications in 2008 and 42 percent in 2012. These numbers appear to confirm a report from Chapman University finding military absentee ballot applications are down from 2008.”
