How many Americans have voted already? And does it matter?

Tens of millions of Americans from both sides have already voted in multiple states, creating tension and expectations on both sides for today's results.

Some 83.4 million Americans have already voted in person in the various states before Election Day today (Tuesday), according to pollster and analyst John Couvillon.

That number is down about twenty million from the amount who voted early in the previous presidential election in 2020.

The number of Democrats and Republicans who voted early has also changed dramatically: in 2020, it was 43-34 Democrat-Republican. Now it's 36-34.

Republicans have either "won" the early vote or significantly narrowed the gap with Democrats in a number of key states, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona.

Republicans are hoping that this surge of early voters, which they say is largely comprised of people who don't typically vote, will give them a decisive edge in Election Day, which they believe Republicans will win outright, as well.

For their part, Democrats are hoping and stating that the decline in Democrat early voting simply means that more of their voters will vote today, cutting into Republican margins and - they hope - bringing victory for the Democrats.
