African-American early voting share through 10/27/08

The polling website FiveThirtyEight.com is reporting an unprecedented surge in early voting among African-Americans in three key states: North Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana.

From FiveThirtyEight.com:

“According to Michael McDonald’s terrific website, there are three states in which early voting has already exceeded its totals from 2004. These are Georgia, where early voting is already at 180 percent of its 2004 total, Louisiana (169 percent), and North Carolina (129 percent).

Hmm … can anybody think of something that those three states have in common?”
