WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th October, 2020) More than 30 million Americans have already voted in this year's presidential race, about fives time the number of ballots cast at a comparable point in 2016, the US Elections Project said citing official state data.
"Voters have cast a total of 30,242,866 ballots in the reporting states," the website said on Monday.
The site administrator, University of Florida professor Michael McDonald, said at a comparable point in 2016 about 5.
9 million votes had been cast.
The report said the current turnout is 21.7 percent of the total votes counted in the 2016 US election, which was nearly 139 million.
In a post on October 4, the professor said he estimates that some 150 million people could vote in the 2020 general election, which would be a record tally and highest turnout rate since 1908.
McDonald captures official data directly from election systems of more than 30 US states that allow for early voting.
