With only three weeks until Election Day, many states are already seeing historic levels of early voting. Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia have already received more early ballots than they did in 2016.
Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia have already received more early ballots than they did in the 2016 presidential election. Several other states have topped 2016 numbers for mail ballots returned, even as in-person early voting is opening up in much of the country.
So far, 8.2 million people have voted by mail in the general election and 835,000 headed to polling places early to cast ballots, according to figures from 35 states and the District of Columbia compiled by the Associated Press. For comparison, more than 58 million early ballots were cast in 2016. Virginia, one of the first states to open early in-person voting sites, topped 2016 levels for both categories of advance voting in the first week it reported numbers. Through Sunday, more than 977,000 ballots have been cast in the state, with slightly more early in-person ballots being cast than mail-in votes.
In Florida, which has 29 Electoral College votes and where polling shows a tight race between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, about 1.7 million mail ballots have been cast through Monday, more than 60% of those received in 2016. Floridians can request absentee ballots until Oct. 24.
