Early voting across various states is experiencing significant increases compared to previous election cycles. In Texas, Taylor County reported early voting numbers nearly doubling those of 2020, with 4,120 and 4,583 voters on the first two days, respectively. Ohio is seeing similar trends, with counties like Montgomery and Warren setting new records, mirroring or surpassing 2020 figures. South Carolina broke its single-day early voting record twice in succession, with 127,792 ballots cast on Tuesday alone. Meanwhile, in Northwest Arkansas, a significant rise in early voting has been observed, attributed to increased polling locations and the convenience of early voting. This surge is partly due to the decrease in COVID-19 concerns, encouraging more in-person participation.
