With less than a week before voting in the 2020 election concludes, Elaine Kamarck takes a look at early voting trends—who is voting early, how many votes have already come in, and whether voter turnout will break historic records. Kamarck also explains how states are wrangling with legal challenges to expanded voting access, including this week’s Supreme Court decision on Wisconsin absentee ballots.
