More than 10 million Americans have cast their votes in the 2020 general election, according to data from 38 states that make it public, compared with the fewer than 2 million who had voted at about the same point ahead of the 2016 election.

“The voting pace is truly remarkable, with five states already reaching 20 percent or greater than their 2016 total vote,” Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor and head of the U.S. Election Project, which has been keeping the tally, said in an Oct. 11 release.
