It's hard to figure out exactly what these numbers mean, but Dem votes over the last three days eclipsed the 11 day early/absentee voting total in 2004 by 8.5%; for Republicans, the total 38.5% smaller. The Dem numbers are almost three times the GOP numbers.

Also, it looks like the counties that are expected to go most heavily for Clinton (i.e. El Paso, Corpus Christi, maybe San Antonio) increased their turnout the least; the ones expected to go heavily to Obama (Houston, Dallas, and Austin) are middling, while the tossups/lean Obama counties (basically, suburban Houston, Dallas, and Austin) have the highest increase in turnout.
