Election Countdown: 90 Days to Go!
Folks, we’re just 90 days away from Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 5! But if history is any guide, Americans will be casting their votes before you can say “Make America Great Again.”
Early voting kicks off as soon as Sept. 6 for some eager voters. That’s right, we’ll have ballots pouring in from voters in seven battleground states faster than you can finish your morning coffee. Are we turning Election Day into Election Season?
J.D. Vance is already firing up the crowd, and he’s not holding back! His pointed remarks about the Harris-Walz team have got people talking. Maybe their catchphrase should be “Make America Sizzle Again.” This guy’s certainly bringing some energy to the race!
Early Voting: A Growing Trend
More and more Americans are getting on board with early voting each year. During the 2020 election, when COVID was still a big concern, Fox News reported that a whopping 71% of voters cast their ballots before the official Election Day. This trend didn’t slow down for the 2022 midterms, with 57% of folks voting early. Talk about being ahead of the game!
Early Voting Percentages
| Year | Percentage of Early Voters |
|---|---|
| 2020 | 71% |
| 2022 | 57% |
Election officials continue to assure us that early voting is safe and secure. They say there’s no widespread funny business, just democracy doing its thing.
Your Early Voting Options
Here’s the lowdown on how you can vote early:
- Early In-Person Voting: Pop into a voting center and cast your ballot face-to-face. Get a taste of that democratic spirit!
- Voting by Mail: If you’re in a state that offers mail-in voting like California or Nevada, you can make your choices from the comfort of your couch. Just fill it out and send it back!
- Check the Rules: Some states require a valid reason for mail-in voting—like being older, sick, working long hours, or out of town on Election Day. Double-check your state’s rules to avoid any hiccups!
Don’t forget to get those ballots in the mail or dropped off well before the deadline. Why the rush? Because some states don’t start counting until election night. Talk about waiting until the last minute!
Battleground States to Watch
North Carolina voters are first up for absentee ballots on Sept. 6. Other key states will follow soon after. Keep an eye on Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. The election season is about to heat up!
