In Pennsylvania, Republicans trail Democrats in early voting by 30% to 59%, but Republicans have seen a 10% improvement in early voting from 2020.
Per CNN:
As of nine days before Election Day, more than 40.7 million Americans have already cast their ballots in the November election, either by mail or through early in-person voting, getting a head start on shaping the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
CNN is monitoring who is casting pre-election ballots in the 36 states that offer early voting, as well as how early voting numbers compare with four years ago, when pre-election voting reached historic levels during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This page, updated daily, draws on data from Catalist, election officials and Edison Research.
Democrats held a wide advantage over Republicans in early voting four years ago, but the gap could be narrower this time as top Republican officials urge supporters to embrace voting before Election Day on November 5.
Official numbers of early voters by party are unavailable for Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
