미대선 사전투표율 분석 및 주요 지역 여론조사
If the final sprint to Election Day appeared superficially familiar, with President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden making their closing arguments to swing state voters, there were plenty of reminders that the 2020 campaign has been anything but normal.
There were the staggering early vote totals, with a record number of people already casting their ballots by mail or in person - a tectonic shift away from one-day voting that's been the staple of the American electoral system - and predictions that the total turnout would break the record set in 2016, when nearly 139 million people voted.
Kim Doyeon is at our Election Center with a breakdown.
Doyeon, what is the early voting count at this point and how do the polls look like?
That's right. Some polling stations are just now opening on the east coast, where right now it's a little after 5 AM.
First, let's take a look at what happened in early voting.
These numbers are from U.S. Election Project.
The early voting count at this point is more than 99 million as of 6 PM, Korea time.
This includes both in-person and mail-in ballots.
We won't have the total voter turnout until later, but we can compare this number to 2016.
Now, mail-in ballots were big this year because in the pandemic some states let anyone request a ballot by mail.
But in previous elections, voters generally had to have a special reason to get one,... so you can see the surge here.
This could be more favorable for Biden as Democrats are thought to be more likely to vote by mail.
President Trump, on his trail, said multiple times that this system could lead to fraud,... and he encouraged his supporters to vote on Election Day in person.
In-person early voting is higher than 2016 as well... which may be because some wanted to avoid large crowds on the day.
So early voting this year accounts for over 70 percent of total turnout in the last election,... which was estimated at 138 million,... and experts say that it's likely to surpass 150 million in this election for the first time.
One of the reasons behind the surge is... COVID-19, which touched upon every aspect of this process.
Also, COVID-19 hit the country when it was already POLARIZED on other issues.**.**
That being said, let's take a look at how the results might look... by bringing up the polls.
While former Vice President Joe Biden has more solid states on his side, none of them will matter unless he can get to 270.
So that's why he and President Trump have focused on six swing states,... all of which were taken by Trump in 2016.
First, we go down to the Sunshine State, President Trump's second home.
Biden has a slight lead, according to the polls, with 48.1 percent for him and 46.3 for Trump.
That's a lead of just 1.8 points,... so this doesn't confirm anything.
Remember, this state has 29 electoral votes… and is one of the most diverse states in the union with a high number of Hispanic voters...
