Over 75 million Americans have already cast their ballots early in the US presidential election. The election is scheduled to take place on November 5.
This was reported by Axios.
In particular, more than four million American voters have already voted in the state of Georgia, which is almost 80% of the state’s total turnout in 2020, according to the University of Florida Election Laboratory.
In North Carolina, more than 4.4 million people have cast their votes, which is also 80% of the 2020 count there.
Both of these states are “swing” states, meaning that both Democrats and Republicans can win elections in them. Votes there fluctuate and are often decisive.
According to the newspaper, in general, such a large number of early voters indicates the growing popularity of this method of voting and voting by mail.
