Americans Hitting the Polls Early With one last week to go before Election Day, over 45.5 million Americans have already cast their ballots either in person or via mail. Democrats lead Republicans in early voting 42% to 40%, with the other 18% unknown, and early voters have favored in-person voting over mail-in ballots. Fifty-three percent of early voters are women and 45% are men, and nearly half of all early voters were aged 65 or older. You can find your state’s results here. In 2020, a record number of Americans voted early. By election day that year more than 101,450,000 people had already voted. https://lnkd.in/gWZfckAr

UPDATE: Nearly 55 million Americans have already voted, with three days left for early voting. I anticipate that between 75 and 80 million Americans will have voted before Election Day, and that about 112 million people will vote in total—meaning approximately 71.4% of voters will have cast their ballots early. That also means that nearly 39 percent of eligible voters will not vote in 2024 going by historical data.

What to expect on Election Night 2024? The same process as in 2020. Experts believe that due to the expansion of Early Voting and Vote by Mail, many states will still be in the process of counting ballots well after Election Day. Thus watch parties can be both fun and anxiety provoking as voters watch two separate phenomenons occur: A Red Mirage followed by a Blue Shift. Curious to know what to expect? I suggest watching this great video explanation from my Brother in the Movement - Professor Robert Reich - and ask that you share this video with your networks so they can be prepared.

DEVELOPING: Around 9 million mail-in and early in-person votes have been recorded nationally for the 2024 election, with a significant majority—73%—being mail-in ballots, while 27% were cast in person. NOTE: Battleground states such as Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia show considerable early participation, with mail-in voting being the dominant choice in most states, except in Georgia, where almost all the early voting has been in-person voting.

Early Voting, also known as in-person, no-excuse absentee voting in Missouri, starts today through November 4. Because of the length of the ballot this year in certain areas, election officials are encouraging folks to take advantage of this period to avoid potential long lines on Election Day. Here’s what you need to know: 1️⃣ Locations for in-person absentee voting may be different than where you normally would vote on Election Day, so check with your local election authority. 2️⃣ You must bring a government-issued photo ID that is either valid or has expired since the last federal election in November 2022.
