USA. 2020 presidential election. Early voting has started in four states

Early voting in the presidential election began in four US states on Friday. Hand-delivered or mail-delivered ballots are accepted in Minnesota, Virginia, South Dakota and Wyoming. Voters hope to avoid potential queues at the venues during the pandemic.

From Friday to November 2, in Virginia, you may submit your postal ballots for this year’s presidential election in person to your constituencies or mail them by October 23.

In Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming, those who applied for the cards can submit them in person or mail them up until the day before November 3, the date of the US national election.

These are the only four states where early voting has already started.

Other states, including New Jersey, Michigan, Vermont, and Illinois, will begin early voting next week, while 29 other states and the District of Columbia will follow suit in October.

Easier postal voting

During the COVID-19 epidemic, many Americans are keen to vote early to avoid potential crowds at polling stations. This year, a record number of US citizens will vote before November 3.

In the United States, the process of voting by post has been significantly facilitated. The Washington Post wrote on Thursday that due to the scale of the undertaking, the election result in some states may be known with a delay of up to several days.

Democrats encourage people to fulfill their civic duty in the form of correspondence, pointing out that it is the safest, epidemiologically speaking. President Donald Trump has repeatedly voiced concerns that massive voting in this way would lead to electoral fraud.

Trump and his opponent in Minnesota

Early voting in Minnesota begins the day the state is visited by both outgoing President Donald Trump and Democrat candidate Joe Biden. Trump has an evening rally (local time) scheduled at the Bemidji airport, and Biden will travel to the union in Duluth.

President Trump’s campaign directs significant resources to Minnesota, which was won by Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 with a majority of almost 45,000 votes. The president’s advisers believe that – despite the unfavorable polls here – this is the state with the greatest chances of “getting back”.
