[EL] Annenberg Ctr hopes someone on the list can answer 2012 early vote query

The EAC data sets have beautifully detailed information on everything  
he wants.

Download the following items (only need to select one of the formats  
for datasets)

You may need to combine the descriptor code in the Survey report with  
the Excel spreadsheet to create meaningful headers -- each column  
header in the Excel sheet is a survey question number, for example,  
"D3a"; the Survey Report has the question next to its question number.  
Sometimes the spreadsheet has issues if you want to manipulate the  
data, for example, stores numbers as text so you may have to convert  
them back to numbers to automate calculations on them. In my opinion  
these data tables are one of the single best and most important things  
the EAC has done. Tables are available for 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012  
allowing comparisons over time
