On the last weekend before the US election, US President Trump and Democratic candidate Biden made their last efforts to gather votes. Both have continued to compete for votes in faltering states.
Among them, Biden went to Michigan to campaign and won the platform of former President Obama. Obama said that Americans are already fed up with the chaos of the Trump administration. And Trump held an election rally in Pennsylvania, claiming this election will have a “great Republican victory.”
Although official election day is Tuesday (November 3), many voters have already voted early, the highest number of recent US presidential elections.
Figures from the private US presidential election statistics website “US Elections Project” They show that as of October 30, approximately 85 million American voters voted, which is more than the number of early votes in the 2016 presidential election, of which 55 million people cast their ballots by mail.

Trump continued to run a series of traditional campaigns.
“Save the American Dream”
Trump held four consecutive campaign rallies in Pennsylvania, saying that the American independence movement in the 18th century will “save the American dream” in a vote Tuesday.
He also mentioned the incident that he was diagnosed with a new coronary pneumonia with his wife Melania Trump earlier, and said the pneumonia diagnosis broke rumors that he and Melania Trump did not live together.

Trump said a vote in Pennsylvania on Tuesday would “save the American dream.”
Most of Trump’s rallies were held in the traditional way, meeting with supporters in person, most of the people did not wear masks and did not take social distancing measures. On the other hand, Biden chose to carry out the rally in a similar way to a car theater, with a relatively small scale and also complying with the measures of social distancing.
When Obama stood on Biden’s platform, he said that in the past, everyone would emphasize caring for other people rather than fighting for the spotlight. He said that if voters vote for Biden, the White House will be able to reflect these values.
When Biden spoke, he again taunted Trump, saying it was time for him to “pack his bags and go home.”

In response to the new corona pneumonia epidemic, many US states have relaxed the requirements for voters to vote early or by mail.
In response to the new corona pneumonia epidemic, many US states have relaxed the requirements for voters to vote early or by mail. For example, in this election, many states allowed voters to request to mail their ballots on the grounds of “worrying about the new crown pneumonia epidemic.” Some states allow voters to deposit ballots in the designated collection box after receiving the ballots in the mail, so they do not have to wait in line to collect the ballots.
Many state governments have adjusted the time to collect mail ballots accordingly. Minnesota and South Dakota (South Dakota) have already started collecting ballots 46 days before Election Day, while the North Carolina Election Commission will accept it on or before November 12. All ballot papers received, provided the postmark date on the ballot envelope must show that the envelope containing the ballot was delivered on or before November 3.

However, there are problems with early voting in many states. Even if voters in Georgia choose to vote early in person, many people still have to wait in line.
Early voting and postal ballots have also sparked lawsuits in many states. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that all postal ballots must be placed in envelopes that cannot be traced back to the sender, otherwise they will be considered invalid. The media are concerned that many votes that should have been valid will no longer be valid.
There are disputes over how to calculate postal votes in many parts of the United States. There are about 300 related lawsuits in 44 states. The main content is that Republicans require authorities to restrict only certain voters to voting by mail, but Democrats think this amounts to taking away voting rights from certain voters.

Data collected by University of Florida scholar Michael Macdonald shows that voters who choose to vote by mail are mostly Democratic supporters. This is not a reliable statistical method, but it is certain that accepting the vote by mail can certainly increase the participation rate.
Trump has repeatedly criticized for many months that allowing voters to vote by mail will encourage voter fraud. He stated that this would allow some people to vote repeatedly and affect the results. Most of his supporters can choose to vote in person on voting day November 3 because of this.
