Tens of millions of Americans voted early – that's what the data tells us before Election Day

On Forbes Newsroom, Garrett Herrin, CEO and publisher of VoteHub, discussed early voting trends on the eve of Election Day, with a particular focus on the seven battleground states. On Monday, more than 76 million Americans voted early in the 2024 general election.

Herrin explained: “We see a different picture depending on what the battlefield condition is.”

In Nevada, for example, where six electoral votes are at stake, more Republicans than Democrats participate in early voting. This is in contrast to Pennsylvania, the swing state with the most electoral votes (19), where Democrats have overtaken Republicans in early voting.

Herrin also warned viewers to “take early voting data with a grain of salt” when it comes to predicting the outcome on Election Day. “The partisan makeup of early voting in states where we just don't have a lot of results is a Democratic bias. But voting on Election Day – we don’t know what that breakdown will be.”

When polls close on Election Day, all eyes will be on the race for 270 — and Herrin argued that the vice president has the “easiest path” to win since “Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania give you exactly 270 electoral votes if.” They also win.” Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District.” But if one of the “Blue Wall” states falls to the former president, “then she will have to make up ground in the Sun Belt – and currently there is no Sun Belt state that VoteHub has and its Poll averages put Harris ahead.”
