Well we all heard about the sweeping blue wave that the media and their polls were showing...well the early voting is proving them dead wrong and Democrats aren't happy that votes will pick the candidates not media polls.
AP- Early voting numbers from several key battleground states now show Republican voters turning out in far greater numbers than Democratic ones, signaling an initial GOP surge that has dulled the prospects of a "blue wave" on Nov. 6.
To everyone's surprise, Republican voters have taken the lead in turnout numbers in Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Arizona -- states that analyses show are the scenes of close and pivotal House, Senate and gubernatorial races.
The results are most striking in Tennessee, where 63 percent of early voters are affiliated with the Republican Party, compared to only 30 percent aligned with the Democrats, according to one review of publicly available voting data conducted by NBC News. NBC's polls had predicted just the opposite.
