Washington — More than 55 million people have cast their ballots either in person or by mail during early voting, according to recent figures, weighing in on the presidential contest and down-ballot races ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5.

Data compiled by the University of Florida Election Lab shows that more than 29 million early votes have been cast at polling places in-person, and another 25.9 million mail ballots have been returned. There were more than 65.6 million mail ballots requested.

A higher number of registered Democrats, just under 11 million, have already voted, compared to nearly 10 million registered Republicans, according to data from 25 states that report party registration. Of those who have submitted ballots in-person during early voting, 3.8 million are registered Republicans and 3.1 million are registered Democrats

For people voting by mail, more Democrats, 7.3 million, have returned ballots, compared to just over 5.6 million registered GOP voters, according to the University of Florida Election Lab.

In the battleground state of Georgia, more than 3 million people have voted so far, which is 45% of registered voters in the state, according to data from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office. Raffensperger told reporters that the figures mark the best turnout during the early voting period that the state has seen.

"It's easy to cast a ballot, but it's hard to cheat," he told reporters.

Don’t like it at all. Should only be 1 or maybe 2 days of voting allowed.

I think the good thing about early voting is that many people have already voted before that "comedian" made that stupid "joke" during Trump Rally at MSG.

🚨 BREAKING: North Carolina Republicans expanded their early voting lead again... and Democrats are now getting out-voted by independents. LOL.

🔴 REP: 34.10% [1,148,634]
🟡 OTH: 33.05% [1,113,426]
🔵 DEM: 32.85% [1,106,358]

Some context - even in 2020, when DEMs dominated…— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 30, 2024

And I think the vast majority of “other” voters would be Trump votes.

Why even bother calling it “Election Day” anymore. Tens of millions of early votes, weeks of ballot-counting after...

I'm okay with early voting.

But you shouldn't be allowed to mail your ballot to get your vote counted, unless you're on active duty.

Well, I do shift work, and certainly appreciate early voting. Here in Alaska, they check your ID, have you fill out an affidavit saying you won’t vote again, and you vote. Easy. It get counted by the same machines.
