Millions of Americans will vote early, absentee in 2016

More than 4 million early, absentee and mail-in votes already have been cast, as nontraditional ways of voting gain in popularity.

Five states conduct elections entirely with #VoteByMail. And 72% of Americans support mail-in ballots during this national crisis.

Not only is voting by mail fair, easy, and safe – it’s popularity is growing.
