Texans have already cast over nine million votes, which is higher than the total number of votes cast in 2016. There is still a full day of early voting left plus, of course, election day.

Walmart has removed guns from public display in their stories in anticipation of civil unrest following the election. New Zealand has also warned all its citizens in the U.S. if possible political violence.

And 10 other states at more than 80 % of the turnout in 2016. No wonder that a major turnout is expected.

We'll be at close to 2/3 of the total turnout just during early voting.

Although that will also man there's going to be a significantly lower number on election day itself. Curious how the total turnout will end up.

No doubt, but still expectations are at 150 millions. That's pretty massve comparing to former elections (in % as well)

Wonder if Fulton County, Georgia can beat the impressive 154% voter turnout figures it managed back in the July local primaries?

@Grassmarket What are the schedules for the coming days? Is Joe taking the weekend off? :d

Biden & Obama have come up with an innovative campaign strategy.  They are refusing to allow the public to come to their events & in fact are keeping the locations a secret.

Meantime Pres Trump is doing five rallies per day of the conventional come-one-come-all type.
