By last weekend, more than 95 million voters had already voted.

Close to 100 million voters are expected to participate in the pre-vote, given votes lost out of the count or voted by mail after Election Day.

Reflecting this passionate voting fever, experts predict that the turnout rate will be in the bottom 60%, with more than 160 million votes, more than 138 million people four years ago.

This is an unprecedented share compared to the 50% share in the early and mid-50% since the 1970s.

It is interesting to know how much the previous vote will affect the electoral results, which is almost double than four years ago.

The general analysis is that Democratic supporters prefer to vote by mail and Republican supporters prefer to vote in the field.

This difference in preference will also affect the counting process.

Among contenders deciding to win or lose, Florida and Georgia, Ohio and North Carolina are predicted to count first by mail, so Biden will dominate at first, and then the gap will narrow as more votes are added on the day. of the elections.

By contrast, in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, where vote-by-mail ballot scrutiny inevitably comes late, President Trump will be ahead in the initial counting period, but the results will not be known if the votes are added together.

For this reason, President Trump condemned the Pennsylvania court’s decision to receive a mail ballot postmarked three days after Election Day.

In the end, how many Republican supporters participate in the field vote today despite the risk of corona 19 infection will be the key to winning or losing.
