18 million and counting… Americans cast an early vote

Two weeks to Election Day and millions of Americans are voting every day, either early in person or by returning mail-in ballots.

Early Tuesday, news reports were citing that more than 15 million Americans had voted. Checking the early voting data CNN gets from election officials and the firms Catalist and Edison Research around noon Tuesday, the figure had grown to more than 18 million. It will continue to grow. For reference, more than 150 million total ballots were cast in 2020.

This year, in the key state of Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Sunday on CBS News that he expects up to 70% of the votes in his state will be cast before Election Day.

One interesting development in the data from Catalist is that in these early reports, there are some hints that Republicans may be cutting into the Democratic edge in early voting.
