As a point of comparison to the 866,734 people who have already voted in the 2020 general election; in 2016, I was tracking 9,525 early voters around this same time

The numbers show that 239,705 voters have already cast their ballots in North Carolina. In Wisconsin, 169,742 people have voted. In Georgia, over 35,000 people have voted before the first presidential debate.

Party data is available in Iowa, North Carolina, and Florida and they show a massive advantage for Democrats who have cast 53.9% of the ballots to 16.7% for Republicans. Independents have cast 29.1% of the votes in these three states. Since only 504 early votes have been cast in Iowa and 6,607 votes in Florida, the party breakdown is mostly North Carolina. - PoliticusUSA

Get people to early vote, but GOTV! Let's win this thing and save our country from dictators and henchmen.

1. That seems like exceptionally good news.

2. The problem is...

Don't rely on this news. The problem here is that Republicans are far more likely to vote on election day than to early vote. I would imagine even more so in our current political and medical climate.

I remember reading just prior to election day 2016 that HRC was SO far ahead in FL early voting that it would be next to impossible for trump to win the state. Some networks even debated calling FL prior to election day.

3. Early Voting

I’m in Florida, and I don’t understand how they already have 6000+ votes as early voting here does not start until October 19.

4. Probably absentees that are out of the country.

Those have to go out by Sept 19th.

5. Curious why some states allow such early voting?

And why not my state? I have to wait until October to get my ballot! Still curious why some states allow voting for the general election in September?
