Two and a half weeks before the American presidential elections, more than ten million voters have already cast their votes. As of Friday morning, 10.1 million U.S. citizens have exercised their right to vote early, including more than three million in swing states expected to be decisive in the election, according to the University of Florida’s Election Research Institute.
A record turnout has already been registered in the southern US state of Georgia, where early voting has been possible since Tuesday. Neighboring North Carolina also saw high participation in early voting, which is possible by showing up in person at polling places that are already open or voting by mail.
Trump of Harris?
The two opponents in the race for the White House, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, wanted to hold campaign appointments in the swing state of Michigan on Friday. More than 800,000 people have already cast their votes there.
In the American state with the car metropolis of Detroit, there are countless Muslim and Arab voters who accuse the incumbent government of its massive support for Israel in the Gaza war.
Trendsetting choice
The November 5 election is seen as a milestone for the future of American democracy and the world power’s future foreign policy forecasts an extremely close outcome. The president is elected indirectly by a college of electors sent by the individual American states.
Because of this peculiarity of the American electoral system, the decision will probably only be made in a few states, the swing states, where the election outcome is particularly close. Michigan, with its fifteen voters, is one of these seven particularly controversial American states.
