Early Voting Smashes Records In Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Early voting in Minnesota is smashing records across the state. With just over two weeks until election day more than 350,000 Minnesotans have requested absentee ballots or voted in person.

And it’s not just here — an estimated 5 million voters across the US have already cast ballots. An estimated 40 percent of U.S. voters are expected to cast ballots before election day.

The numbers are especially high here in Minnesota because this is the first time we have had no excuses early voting in a presidential election year.

At the Hennepin County Government Center a steady stream of voters including Jessica Sell of Maple Grove have been voting.
