Voters have cast 33.2% of the total votes counted in the 2016 general election.

Total Early Votes: 45,794,956 • Mail Ballots: 32,839,604 • In-Person Votes: 12,955,352

On Monday, we were at 21%.

New Yorkers will be able to vote very soon. That is a large state filled with people eager to vote for Biden and against Trump. Two New Yorkers who can't wait to vote for Biden are my dad and my stepmother. My mom and stepfather have already voted for Biden in their state. All of my aunts and uncles have already voted for Biden in Florida and Michigan. All of them are senior citizens.

We have to keep fighting until every last vote is counted. There is less than two weeks left and we want ever single vote we can get for Biden.

According to 538, Trump has a 12% chance to win, but banking early votes Biden is mitigating that risk. T538 does not figure in any of this. But if the election ended tonight Biden would be a 99% favorite to win, by having 1/3 of the votes in he's reduced that 12% risk of losing significantly.

The more people vote, the better chance we have of winning the presidency as well as senate, house and other races. I want as much blue as possible.
