Record Early Voting in 2024 Signals Potential Election Day Shifts

TL;DR Summary
Over 75 million Americans have already voted in the 2024 election, representing more than 48% of the total 2020 turnout, highlighting the growing trend of early and mail-in voting. This shift, which gained momentum during the pandemic, suggests a new norm in U.S. elections. States like Georgia and North Carolina have seen early voting numbers reach nearly 80% of their 2020 totals. Despite past criticisms, former President Trump and the GOP now encourage early voting, although they continue to challenge some mail-in voting rules in court.
