About 2.7 million people have already voted in more than a dozen states, according to data released this week by a university. That figure is on par with the record turnout during the 2018 midterm elections, a professor concluded.
Of that figure, 2,353,531 people voted via mail-in ballots, while 337,852 cast their ballots in person, data from the University of Florida’s U.S. Elections Project shows. About a third of the early votes recorded so far have been cast in Florida alone, as more than 600,000 in the Sunshine State have cast ballots.
