President Obama's strategy of collecting early votes in the key battleground states of North Carolina and Florida may have worked four years ago against John McCain, but current Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney has caught on, and has focused campaign resources on these two states that he cannot afford to lose. In 2008, Obama used early voting to gain a significant lead on McCain, diminishing the number of voters who actually voted for the Arizona Senator on election day.
While the votes are not counted until election day, a good estimation can be made by looking at the registered number of voters that have cast early ballots. In both states, registered Republicans were submitting ballots more frequently than registered Democrats, which leads one to infer that Republicans are winning the early vote race in these states.
