[Senator Clay Davis]

I gotta say, while it's gross, it's also kinda of impressive the North Carolina GOP is just patting itself on the back for suppressing the vote (the black vote in particular)

NCGOP leaders will discuss final Get Out The Vote efforts and encouraging Republican gains in final Early Voting numbers when compared to 2012. Republicans historically vote in far greater numbers on Election Day itself, these great strides in Early Voting when compared to 2012 show evidence of underestimated statewide ground game and deep volunteer base.

The other factor which shows drastic change from 2012 is the significant decrease in Democrat Party performance during Early Voting. This may finally prove the myth pushed by many mainstream media outlets of the superior Clinton get out the vote operation, as measured by the number of Clinton-specific offices in comparison to Trump-specific offices. The vaulted Clinton ground game has been buried in North Carolina by the Republican effort, thus far.

"While I am pleased so far, we must have a strong Election Day turnout to win on Tuesday," said Chairman Robin Hayes. "But I'm cautiously optimistic and our statewide team will continue the full court press until the minute polls close," Chairman Hayes concluded.
