Some statesare reporting numbers that are 25-30% of the total 2004 vote for theirstates. Many states are exceeding the percentages of early voting from 2004, with a few days left to vote in most of these states. That means thatearly voting numbers in those states have already exceeded their early voting totals from 2004.
