Americans have cast a record-breaking 93 million early ballots as of Sunday afternoon, putting the 2020 election on track for historic levels of voter turnout.
That's almost twice as many pre-election votes as were cast in the 2016 election, according to the U.S. Elections Project, a turnout-tracking database run by University of Florida professor Michael McDonald.
McDonald calculates that nationally, voters have cast nearly 68% of the total votes counted in the 2016 election.
"We continue to pile on votes at a record pace. We've already passed any raw number of early votes in any prior election in U.S. history," McDonald told NPR on Oct. 26.

I don't know. The more complicated one makes something, the easier it is to throw a monkey wrench into it. They talked about mail in ballets to make people safe, and then they change rules at the last minute to allow people to physically place ballets at a drop box, that has no rules. This wasn’t about keeping the people safe; it is about trying to give advantage to a candidate who has no excitement in his base. MHO For some reason the words still ring in my ears: “Well we won”. But at what cost? In Pa. our Governor actually broke the law, he doesn’t have the authority to make the changes he did. It will be interesting if it goes to court, our Governor will have disenfranchised many voters.
