Additional Analysis (as of 2 PM):
In looking at the voters who were registered to vote in 2010 but didn't vote in the mid-term four years ago, but did show up to cast an early ballot this year, we see some interesting numbers that could give us a clue on the ground game and interest level among the different groups of voters.

- 40,986 are registered Democrats, representing 54 percent of these voters
- 17,892 are registered Republicans, representing 24 percent of these voters
- 16,597 are registered Unaffiliated voters, representing 22 percent of these voters
Among each party registration in terms of race:
