Welcome to the Daily Kos Elections early voting roundup, which appears every weekday until Election Day. Click here to find out if and when early voting is available in your state.
As hard as it might be to believe, we have arrived at the final weekend of the 2016 election.
Professor Michael McDonald, one of the go-to sources over the past several cycles on the issue of early voting, estimates that nearly 37 million Americans have already “gone to the polls,” either through the mailing of ballots, or appearing at an in-person early voting center. In other words, we are heading close to already having 30 percent of the electorate locked in before we head to the weekend.
Today, rather than take a deep dive into one state or the other, we will take a “fly by” approach to a number of states, so that readers can get a lay of the land on a larger scale. In some states, it is now likely that the majority of state votes have been cast, or will be cast before the weekend closes out. This includes several battlegrounds: Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and North Carolina. Let’s take a look at how this all shakes out for the Democrats, with just four days to go until Election Day.
