Record Early Voting Surges in Key US Midterm Battleground States
Early voting in the 2024 US midterm elections has reached a record high, with nearly 48 million Americans casting ballots ahead of Election Day. Key battleground states like Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kansas have seen significant increases, with Texas reporting a 50% rise from 2022. Democrats account for about 44% of early voters, Republicans 31%, and others 25%. The surge reflects heightened interest in competitive Senate races that could influence control of Congress during President Trump's final two years.
