Record Early Voting Turnout Across Multiple States

Early voting across several U.S. states is witnessing unprecedented turnout, with Bexar County reporting 46,820 votes on the first day, a 41% increase from 2020. This surge is believed to be driven by the high-profile race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. In Polk County, long lines formed as 2,013 ballots were cast on the first day, with local races also boosting voter interest. South Carolina has also seen record numbers, with approximately 1,000 voters participating on the first day and similar turnout expected to continue. Political analyst Matt Towery predicts favorable outcomes for Trump in swing states like North Carolina and Georgia, fueled by early voting trends. Experts, including former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, anticipate that this election will feature historic voter turnout overall.
