Elections: Early Voting

October 28, 2024 - When traveling in the U.S., it's hard to ignore the intense electoral atmosphere that permeates everywhere—from road signs to everyday conversations. America is deeply divided, with both sides often viewing each other with disdain. Hostile exchanges can arise quickly, yet dialogue becomes more cordial and patriotic when faced with outsiders.

The aim is to demonstrate that America, as a great nation, can resist the lure of division, which would only serve to please its adversaries, particularly in France, a country often seen as largely Americanophobic.

 

"United we stand, divided we fall." This founding slogan still resonates today. Anticipatory stories are emerging on the topic, exploring what Trump might do if he is defeated. Only the candidate himself can truly know if his controversial actions are part of a strategic electoral plan, a demonstration of political savvy, or perhaps a gamble with a more radical America—or even signs of senility or dementia, as some Democratic leaders have suggested. Meanwhile, discussions center on early voting, a practice that has become increasingly common. Ironically, even Trump, who previously dismissed it as suspicious, is now raising questions about its importance. Many voters are taking advantage of early voting to avoid long lines on November 5.

Americans who register to vote typically choose to identify as Democrats, Republicans, independents, or as unaffiliated. The official analysis conducted today provides insight into voter behavior. Historical election data reveals that individuals registered as Democrats or Republicans may ultimately choose not to vote. These statistics are particularly examined in the seven swing states, which are critical for determining the election outcome, regardless of the overall number of votes received by each candidate. The composition of the Electoral College plays a crucial role in this process. Each state allocates its electoral seats based on population, with the candidate receiving the most votes in that state claiming all the seats. For example, Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes, making it a significant state in the election.
