More than 75M Americans vote early as Harris, Trump make final push in key swing states
WASHINGTON (AA) – More than 75 million Americans voted early in the US presidential election, according to data released late Saturday.
The figures from the University of Florida’s Election Lab tracker show 75,093,872 people have voted either by mail or in person at polling stations.
More voters chose to vote in person than by mail.
The number of registered voters in the US is about 168 million people.
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, held rallies in southern swing states with less than two days before Election Day.
Harris held a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, and attended an event in Charlotte, North Carolina. Trump campaigned in Gastonia, North Carolina, then traveled to Salem, Virginia, before returning to Greensboro, North Carolina.
During her rally in the state of Georgia, Harris said Trump is focused on his “enemies list” and added that she will be focused on her “to do list”.
“This is not someone who is thinking about how to make your life better. This is someone, who is increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and the man is out for unchecked power,” said the Democratic candidate.
At his rallies, Trump took aim at his contender, saying he would usher in an American golden age. “Kamala broke it, I will fix it, and America will be rich again,” he said in Gastonia.
