Democrats in North Carolina are far outpacing Republicans in the number of absentee ballot requests being submitted just eight weeks from the November midterm elections.
According to the state's absentee ballot request report Tuesday, a total of 66,311 absentee ballots have been requested, with Democrats making up the vast majority of that number at 53% of the total, or 35,303 ballots. Republicans have requested just 8,907, or 13%.
Those unaffiliated with any party have requested 21,917, Libertarians have requested 181, and members of the Green Party have requested just 3.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Republican National Committee for comment and spoke to an official who downplayed the ability of Democrats like Senate nominee Cheri Beasley to appeal to North Carolina voters regardless of absentee ballot numbers.
