Record 47.9M early votes cast in US midterms; Dems lead early turnout

Early voting in the US midterm elections has hit a record 47.9 million ballots, surpassing the 2022 benchmark of 45.9 million. Data from the University of Florida's Election Lab shows Democratic voters outnumbering Republicans among early ballots, though this is an early indicator and not predictive of final outcomes. The high turnout signals intense engagement but does not confirm a partisan wave.
