Voting early and often in Indiana, N.C.
By Matt Negrin, Globe correspondent
Indiana and North Carolina haven't had this big a say in the Democratic presidential race for decades, so election officials are reporting high interest and possible record turnout.
One indication: More than 600,000 people have already voted in the two states combined, taking advantage of early voting and absentee balloting before Tuesday's primaries.
The numbers are particularly eye-popping in North Carolina. More than 488,000 voters have already cast ballots, nearly 13 percent of eligible voters.
In Indiana, at least 159,000 people have already voted, about 4 percent of eligible voters.
