This weekend we're now getting out the early vote in 7 of 9 swing states. In 2008, for these 7 states early voting accounted for 1 in 5 votes in Wisconsin, more than 1 in 4 votes in Ohio, more than 1 in 3 votes in Iowa, more than 1 in 2 votes in both Florida and North Carolina, 2/3 of votes in Nevada and more than 3/4 of votes in Colorado.

It's on.

Early voting starts today in Nevada. It's continuing in Ohio, Iowa and North Carolina (and most counties in Florida through in-person absentee ballots). And it becomes available on Monday in Colorado and in Wisconsin. (VA and NH don't have early voting, though VA has in person absentee voting if you have a commute, work, etc).
