CNN: Apar primele date despre votul anticipat la alegerile americane din noiembrie. Democrații par să aibă avantajul până acum

With a month left until the U.S. midterm elections, over 700,000 Americans have already voted, showing a clear advantage for Democrats. This trend has been evident since summer, with Democrats making up a larger share of early voters in key states. In Iowa, 67% of early voting requests are from registered Democrats, up from 54% in 2024. Pennsylvania and North Carolina also show increases in Democratic early voting. Older voters are increasingly opting for mail-in ballots, with those aged 65 and over representing a growing percentage. Virginia reports the highest early voting numbers, indicating strong Democratic mobilization. However, Republicans may still catch up as Election Day approaches, and the data on early voting has its limitations, reflecting only a small fraction of total expected votes.
