With Monday's data, Democrats have fallen to exactly their midterm-average cumulative turnout proportion for this point in early voting (41.0%). Republicans rose but are still well short of their average.
Raw numbers and data link below #ncpol
If the pattern of weekday voting holds (and it always holds until it doesn't), both Democrats and Republicans will be 2-3 points below their average turnout by the end of early voting.
Data is from Vote Tracker:

Jonathan D. Miller is the Libertarian Party candidate in NC Senate District 16.
The district, in Wake County, is rated D+18 (safe Democratic) in the Civitas Partisan Index.
That also happens to be my district. I do not plan to vote for Miller.

Regular registration is closed, so this should be same-day registration. Negative registrations are party-switching and regular list maintenance (moved or died).

Beaufort was the answer to my recent question about which county, other than Hyde, is allowed to open early voting sites (other than the county board of elections office) that can operate non-standard days and hours.
Early voting in NC this week is at 368 sites Mon-Weds, then Thurs-Fri 370 sites as Beaufort Co adds sites in Aurora and Belhaven. 358 of the sites are open 8 am to 7:30 pm, 10 just business hours. Saturday Oct 31 all 370 sites open 8am to 3pm when all early voting ends. #ncpol statewide site list: s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.go…
Sunday's early voting helped Democrats pad their lead a bit. Most of the counties that hosted early voting then lean Dem.
The question now is whether Republicans will eat into the Democrats' advantage this week like they did last week.
Raw numbers and data link below #ncpol
Democrats were over Republicans by 26.2 percentage points last Monday. It is now 18 points. Democrats usually have about a 10-point advantage.
