Ahead of the November presidential elections, the electoral atmosphere is heating up in every state. Four states, including Minnesota, began voting early on the 18th (local time). Ballots continue to be sent by mail. US President Donald Trump and former Democratic Party Vice President Joe Biden went to Minnesota on the same day to mobilize support.
Four states – Minnesota, Virginia, South Dakota and Wyoming – opened the first polling stations as of this day. Early voting is a system introduced to increase turnout and avoid congestion on Election Day, and the state price decides whether it should be introduced. Early voting periods can be set within a certain period of time, and votes will be counted after all voting is completed on Election Day. Of the 538 electoral votes in the presidential election, Minnesota has 10, Virginia has 13, and Wyoming and South Dakota have three.
American voters went to the polling place early. CNN’s U.S. broadcast said that since voters refused to go to the polling site due to concerns about the Corona 19 pandemic, authorities are expecting an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots, but many voters on this day they said that many voters voted early directly. There was a reported four-hour wait at the polling place in Fairfax County, Virginia. The Washington Post (WP) reported that by noon that day, at least 300 people were standing on the grass outside the office building and some were camped out on benches on the grass. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said “interest in early voting is higher than in 2016.”
President Trump and candidate Biden visited Minnesota, a racial state, and launched a campaign. President Trump ran a campaign tonight at the Bemidji Airport in Beltrami County. Candidate Biden delivered a speech in Hermantown, St. Louis County. President Trump said on Twitter that “voting will begin today in Virginia and we will win,” followed by “soon we will land in Minnesota, where early voting began.” Candidate Biden raised his voice and said, “It’s time to take the country back” and “we start voting here in Minnesota today.
