ALMOST 100 million US citizens cast early votes in the 2020 race for the White House, with voter turnout set to be one of the largest for presidential elections this century.
With the result due after the Morning Star went to press, Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden was ahead in the polls, though the race was believed to be tight in the so-called swing states.
According to the US Elections Project, 99,657,079 voters cast their ballots early prior to November 3. This figure exceeds the 47 million who chose to vote early in 2016.
