Americans have cast more than 47.1 million ballots in the 2020 presidential election, surpassing the total early-vote count for 2016 with 12 days left until Election Day, according to a Washington Post analysis of voting data.
Why it matters: The election is already underway, as many states have expanded early and mail-in voting options because of the coronavirus pandemic.
