The U.S. presidential election will be held on November 3, some of the states have already conducted early voting, according to the University of Florida research data analysis, nearly 4 million U.S. voters have already voted early, a record high; research analysis suggests that the “Trump-Baylor showdown” has a chance to reach a 112-year high turnout.
According to early voting data provided by the US Elections Project at the University of Florida, more than 3.8 million Americans have completed early voting, far more than the number of voters in the U.S. who voted in the previous election, according to Reuters. About 75,000 people voted in the same period in 2016.
Michael McDonald, a professor in the Department of Political Science who is in charge of the project, said that he has never seen so many people vote early in the past, and that the main reason for this dramatic change is that many state governments have expanded their mail-in and early voting pipelines in the midst of the Wuhan pneumonia (a new form of coronavirus disease, COVID-19) epidemic; he also noted that the surge in early voting also shows that voters are eager to change Trump’s political career, and that “we know that many people made their decision early on, and they have already judged him.
McDonald estimated that the total number of voters in this election is about 150 million, or about 65 percent of eligible voters, which if the prediction comes true would be an all-time high since 1908; he said that the number of reported voters is currently from 31 states, but as more states conduct early in-person voting and report mail-in ballot totals in the future, this early voting will continue to climb, with all but about six states All of the states allow early on-site voting to some extent.
