US presidential election on November 5. But before that there was a system of one day early voting in all the states. More than six crore voters availed the benefit of early voting. The University of Florida's Election Lab reported this information.
The United States has a one-day advance voting system to reduce crowding and make it easier for voters to vote.
Political science professor Michael MacDonald, who is in charge of the Election Lab, said that he analyzed data from six labs, including Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and found that 60 million voters voted early in the 2024 presidential election. Of the people who voted in the 2020 presidential election, 40 percent voted early this time.
In several swing states, including North Carolina and Georgia, 45 percent of registered voters cast early ballots. Some states in the United States tend to be Democratic, while others tend to be Republican. There are seven states, like North Carolina, Georgia, that could go either way. Wherever they go, that candidate's chances of winning increase. That is why these states are called swing states.
According to the polls, this time there is a strong fight between Trump and Harris. Early voting shows how eager voters are to exercise their franchise in this election.
However, the majority of those who voted from Europe were in favor of Kamala Harris, the survey revealed.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told CNN that voters on both sides of the aisle are very excited. We want to ensure that this process is honest, fair and just.
Among those who voted early, 55 percent were women and 45 percent were men, observers said.
EU wants Kamala Harris
If Europeans had voted in the US presidential election, the results would have been foretold. 69 percent of Western Europeans voted for Kamala Harris and 49 percent of Eastern Europeans voted for the Democrat candidate.
Trump would have secured 16 percent of the vote in Western Europe and 36 percent in Eastern Europe. This information emerged from Novus and Gallup international survey.
Kamala Harris is most popular in Denmark, where 85 percent of people support her, and 82 percent of people in Finland support Kamala Harris. And in Eastern Europe, Trump got the most support in Serbia and Hungary. 49 percent of people there prefer Trump.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has already wished Trump well. Orban is one of Trump's well-wishers in Europe.
