10 million of the 50 million requested mail in ballots already returned bringing a total of almost 27 million with in person voting so far. With early voting essentially just beginning it looks like a LOT of voting will be in the bag before Election Day...
Texas has already reached 38% of its 2016 number and Florida 25%...Wow...

What is very interesting to me is that it appears that 16 million of the ballots are in-person voting. (I got the 16 million number by scrolling down and seeing that ~11 million of the 27 million are mail-in ballots). I voted early and in person. I encourage folks to do this because it was safe, easy and faster than I thought.
Yep beergoddess and I early voted this weekend. I went to the Clemmons Library where the phone app said the wait was 30 minutes. I waited about 2 hours, but happy to do it.
Beergoddess scouted all locations with a phone app that gave wait times. She walked in to vote with no wait and got it done in 5 minutes. I was surprised to see the color-in-circles paper ballots this year like a California Achievement test. Coloring in all those circles slows it down a bit since it's slower to vote straight ticket. But not bad, very straightforward, and no confusing referendum Yes/No paragraphs to read in NC. It makes sense to have no touch screens this year.
Served as a witness for my 90 y/o grandmother’s absentee ballot in SC today. We sprung her from her assisted living facility so she could (finally) meet her great grandson. She has to quarantine when she goes back in but it’s been a great visit. She’s been reminding me she wants to vote since she’s been out so it was nice helping her out.
Virginia (1.355 million votes cast so far in 2020) is at about 35% of the 3.984 million votes cast there in 2016.
Biden visited Durham today. He was introduced by Duke Women’s Basketball Coach Kara Lawson.

Whoever recommended ear buds and a podcast for the wait line to vote was spot on. Many thanks. Very enjoyable waiting to vote in beautiful fall weather, listening to the new Bob Dylan album.
