Michigan Early Voting Reveals Surprising Results
Only 3 states had a higher turnout than Michigan for early voting in 2024. Let's break down the numbers.

Many reports estimate that a third of all registered Americans have participated in early voting for the 2024 election. This could mean getting the final results for Congressional seats to the Presidential election far sooner than we did in 2020.

Early voting was split right down the middle for Michigan when you look at the registered voter stats. However, just because someone is registered to one party doesn't ensure they will vote that way in the 2024 presidential election. The polls opened at 7 AM today and Michigan was not allowed to count early voting ballots until after the polls opened. We don't know what the early voting numbers look like yet. But here's what the voter registration numbers look like for Michigan early voters.
