More than 21 million Americans have cast early and mail-in ballots, with less than two weeks until the
general election.
Georgia and North Carolina are among the nation’s swing states breaking early
voting records.
Although Democrats are often more likely to take part in early voting, more Republicans are casting early ballots this year than in past elections. Analysts point to a change of tune from former President
Donald Trump, who previously bashed early voting but now is telling his supporters to cast their votes as soon as possible.
So far, more than 21 million voters have cast early ballots. Democrats cast just more than 800,000 in-person ballots, while Republicans cast about 1 million, according to the
University of Florida Election Lab.
Both parties submitted more early mail-in ballots, however.
Democrats sent in nearly 4 million, while Republicans cast about 2.5 million.
