From the Kerry Camp..

The first few hours of voting has passed and the mood at headquarters is upbeat, buoyed by Reports that have been coming in all morning showing strong turnout.

In addition as a result of our unprecedented early vote operation more than five million Americans in battleground states have already voted. Remember its never to late to help get out the vote. Call your friends and make sure they've voted.

Some facts:

· In Florida 33,000 more Democrats have voted than Republicans.

· In Iowa, 45,000 more Democrats have voted than Republicans. According to a Des Moines Register poll we have an 11 point advantage with these voters. 22% are new or sporadic voters.

· In New Mexico 20% more Democrats have voted than Republicans - a 26,000 person advantage. And in Nevada an equal number of Democrats and Republicans have voted in 2004
