More than 75 million voters in the USA have already voted

The long-awaited presidential election in the United States of America will be held on Tuesday, November 5.

As of Sunday, November 3, more than 75 million eligible Americans had cast early ballots in the United States presidential election. This is almost half of the total number of voters in 2020. This is reported by Axios.

It is indicated that more than 48% of the total number of voters who voted in 2020 (154,6 million) cast their vote at this time.

In particular, Axios cites the example that more than 4 million people have already voted in Georgia, which is almost 80% of the total voter turnout in the state in 2020.

"This shows that early voting and voting by mail are becoming increasingly popular voting methods and the new norm in American politics," observers say.

The publication writes that although US presidential candidate Donald Trump has opposed voting by mail for many years, since 2020 he and the Republican Party are urging their supporters to vote early. Although some postal voting provisions continue to be challenged in courts across the country.

Among those who have already voted in states that provide party registration data, UF counts Democrats leading by a narrow margin, 37,9% to 36,2% for Republicans.
