Nearly 45 million Americans cast early ballots
WASHINGTON (AA) – Nearly 45 million Americans have cast early ballots ahead of next week’s Election Day, according to a monitor’s data published Monday.
The University of Florida’s Election Lab counted some 44.87 million early ballots that have been cast either via mail or in-person early voting. The division is nearly evenly split between those who have gone to polling stations early and those who have mailed in their ballots.
In those states where party affiliation data is available, slightly more Democrats – 8.79 million – than Republicans – 7.95 million – have voted early. Some 5.3 million voters unaffiliated with either major party have also cast their ballots.
Nearly every US state has some form of early voting in place for people who cannot make it to polling stations during the middle of a work week next Tuesday.
