Americans Have Cast a Record 66M Early Ballots; Puts 2020 Election on Track for Historic Vote No.

 With one week still remaining until Election Day, Americans have already cast a record-breaking 66 million early ballots, putting the 2020 election on track for historic levels of voter turnout, the NPR website reports today (October 27, 2020).

That is some 19 million more pre-election votes than was cast in the 2016 election.

The U.S. Elections Project, a database run by University of Florida professor Michael McDonald, calculates that nationally, voters have cast more than 48% of the total votes counted in the 2016 election.
