US early voting tops 60 million as historic pace continues
2020-10-27
[AlAhram] More than 60 million Americans have cast ballots in the U.S. presidential election with eight days to go,

a record-breaking pace that could lead to the highest voter turnout in over a century, according to data from the U.S. Elections Project on Monday.

The tally is the latest sign of intense interest in the contest between Republican President Donald Trump

, as well as voters’ desire to reduce their risk of exposure to COVID-19, which has killed about 225,000 people across the United States.

Democrats hold a significant advantage in early voting due to their embrace of mail balloting, which Republicans have historically cast in large numbers but have shunned amid repeated and unfounded attacks by Trump who says the system is prone to widespread fraud.

Overall, Democrats hold roughly a two-to-one advantage in early voting numbers.

The high level of early voting has led Michael McDonald, the University of Florida professor who administers the U.S. Elections Project, to predict a record U.S. voter turnout of about 150 million, representing 65% of those eligible to vote, the highest rate since 1908.

U.S. voters have already cast more early votes during this presidential campaign than they did in all of 2016 when they passed the 47 million mark earlier this month, data shows.

#6  Just remember that if Biden doesn't / can't win, that chaos and 'illigitimacy' is plan B.

#5  I wonder, how many of them plan to vote again?

#4  #1, the upside to that is that Democrat voters will not wait in line. They will give up and go home.

#2  I voted early specifically because I'm concerned that if things look bad enough for Joe by late this week, there will be an "event" that will assure no in person voting takes place on Nov. 3

#1  We voted early in Illinois. Saw bad weather approaching and went to the early in person site at the county fair grounds. My son was talking to the folks there and it seems for COVID reasons the fairgrounds might be the only site actually open in the county on election day. If that person is correct it will be a disaster. DuPage County has over 1,000,000 people. Only a 2 lane road serves the fairground. I hope the guy was full of (....).
