Yesterday, on my list of what I was worried about and not worried about, I listed high among my worries:

  • The makeup of early voters in Georgia and North Carolina. In Georgia, 1.38 million votes have cast ballots so far, and 35.2 percent of them are African-American, only a slight decrease from 35.6 last week, when about a half-million fewer votes had been cast. In North Carolina, 1.62 million voters have cast ballots so far, 27.6 percent of them African-American. That’s a drop from last week’s 29 percent.

Today, 24 hours later, the percentage of early voters who are African-American in North Carolina dropped to 27.1 — a drop of a half percent.
