High Early Voting Turnout Across U.S. States

Early voting has seen significant participation across multiple states ahead of the November 5 election, with notable trends emerging. In Louisiana, nearly a third of voters have opted for early voting, while North Carolina reports a higher turnout of early Republican voters, influenced by former President Trump's encouragement. Record-breaking early voter turnout is also observed in Wisconsin, Georgia, Idaho, and Grand Forks, North Dakota, indicating a possible historic turnout. Massachusetts has seen over 1.4 million early ballots cast, around 27.3% of registered voters, with key ballot questions on issues like psychedelics and minimum wage drawing attention. Despite various challenges, such as adverse weather conditions impacting voting in some areas, voter enthusiasm remains high across the country. These trends suggest a shift in voting behavior and potentially increased voter engagement in the upcoming election.
