More than 100 million voted early in US election, watchdog says

More than 100 million Americans cast their ballots early before Election Day, according to the US Elections Project watchdog, a record figure partly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ballots, which were mailed in, deposited in drop boxes or cast at polling stations ahead of today, represent more than 72 percent of the total number of ballots cast in the 2016 presidential election, according to the tally by the watchdog based at the University of Florida.
