Early voting turnout way up as Democrats dominate in key states | McClatchy Washington Bureau

More than 36 million people have already voted, topping the final 2012 turnout.

Figuring out who might benefit, though, is difficult. Estimates from the U.S. Elections Project and NBC News show percentages of registered voters by parties, but there’s no firm count on why they voted for.

In key early voting states so far, Democrats have voted more frequently in seven, Republicans in three and Florida’s a tie.

Here are the latest numbers from NBC:

Arizona: 1.3 million total, 40 percent Republican, 34 percent Democrat.

Colorado: 1.4 million, 36 percent D, 35 percent R.

Florida, 4.4 million, R and D tied each with 40 percent.

Georgia: 1.7 million, 53 percent R, 42 percent D.

Iowa: 500,000, 43 percent D, 35 percent R.

Michigan: 856,000, 39 percent D, 36 percent R.
