Tens of millions of Americans across the country have already cast their ballots by absentee or early in-person voting.

So what does this early turnout tell us? Let's turn to Lisa Desjardin for a look at the data.

So Lisa, break it down for us. Where are we when it comes to early voting?

We're in a really extraordinary moment when it comes to early voting. This nation has shifted over the last 20 years to today, this election, 47 states have early voting.

There's only three, New Hampshire, Alabama and Mississippi, which do not have early voting.

Let's look at the numbers, what we know right now.

More than 55 million Americans have already cast their ballots at this point in the election. How's that compare to this point in 2020?

Well, it is less, but it was a pandemic.

And many people were essentially forced for health reasons to vote.

So this is actually history-making record number of early votes outside of a national health

crisis.

And Lisa, what can we tell so far based on who has voted?

What stands out?

There's a gender gap in these early voting returns.

Right now we see by far more women than men are voting, in fact, by 10 points.

That's something that the Harris campaign likes.

We see in polls, including our poll in October, that Harris really dominates with women. They believe

the more women vote, the higher disproportion is, the better it is for her. I will note, this is

the same proportion as we saw in 2020 in that election. Joe Biden, of course, won in part because

of the gender gap in this election. Now, these are just early votes. We don't know if

these women are necessarily Democrats or Republicans, and I will say there is reason to believe

that there are more conservative women voting this year, and I'll show you why, at least early.
