On Friday, the first early voters in the tight US presidential race in November cast their votes, with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on her way to a campaign rally centred on the divisive topic of abortion.<\/p>\n
Early voting was underway in three US states: Virginia, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Republican nominee Donald Trump has previously questioned the procedure, claiming to have won the 2020 election erroneously.<\/p>\n
AFP journalists observed throngs of people waiting at an early voting polling place in the heart of Arlington, Virginia, which is located just outside of the nation’s capital, Washington.<\/p>\n
Some wore “Harris-Walz” t-shirts, while the building’s front had some “Trump-Vance” banners. 55-year-old Michelle Kilkenny declared, “I’m excited,” and added that casting a ballot early\u2014especially on election day\u2014helps the campaign and increases enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
The majority of US states allow mail-in or in-person voting for those with scheduling issues or who cannot cast a ballot on election day, November 5.<\/p>\n
Former President Trump has consistently attacked any voting method other than on-the-day voting, blaming mail-in votes for Joe Biden’s victory over him in 2020. He has also occasionally questioned early voting, even though his campaign has attempted to encourage it.<\/p>\n
