There is officially just one week until the 2020 U.S. Election and millions of Americans have already cast their votes.

Currently, President Donald Trump is trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by enough percentage points for an Electoral College loss.

Biden's lead over Trump is 3.5 times higher than Hillary Clinton's was in 2016.

More than 66 million Americans have already voted early, either by returning their mail-in ballots or attending an early polling station in person, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There is speculation that 2020 could see the highest turnout since 1908, with 65 percent of eligible voters expected to take part.

The face of a Texas resident who's absentee ballot was never delivered to where I'm going to be working on Election Day. The election board could see it was sent out Oct 8th, but it's never been found or delivered. Luckily we have early voting in Texas which, while making my voting plan I didn't know. So everyday, as my time to leave Texas to go work for a few weeks comes closer, no ballot, no ballot, no ballot. So today, I had to go to the Election Board, cancel my absentee ballot and go vote early. They told me with that cancelled ballot form I could go vote in person. When I arrived to vote in person with the form and my ID the poll worker told me I could only vote provisionally. A provisional ballot is "ok" but it's only counted in a close race. I want my vote counted period, end of story. Provisional is better than not voting but not ideal. Due to different computer systems at election board & polling station my newly canceled absentee ballot had not registered on polling site system when I went to vote. In fact, they said I would have to wait until the computer system updated my newly cancelled absentee ballot status, and I "should" be able to vote. Hell no I thought. So I called the election board back and they were able to process it by end of day so I could go back to vote in person for sure. The point is it took me like 4 hours to make sure my vote would count. How many others absentee ballots are lost? I encourage you to go to your counties election website and see what to do and if you can cancel it and vote early if possible. Thanks to all the election board and poll workers who helped me!! It's not their fault but this system they are trying to work is hard so keep the faith & vote!! Love Y'all!

Earlier today, (October 27) Trump told the public to go and change their vote claiming they want to switch their support to him.

"Strongly Trending (Google) since immediately after the second debate is CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE? This refers changing it to me," Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.

"The answer in most states is YES. Go do it. Most important Election of your life!"

In some states, once an early vote is cast it is fixed, though some jurisdictions will allow people to change who they chose to put on the ballot.

Trump's tweet came as polls show him lagging behind Biden—a Real Clear Politics average of national polls shows Biden leading Trump by 7.3 points.

As for the electoral college, the non-partisan Cook Political Report predicted on September 29 that Biden will win the race for the White House by securing at least 290 electoral college votes. This forecast predicts just 163 solid electoral college votes for Trump.

This election could also feature a very high turnout of young voters according to a poll.

A national survey released Monday by Harvard University found that 63 percent of respondents aged 18-29 said they would "definitely" vote in this year's election—a substantial increase over the 47 percent who said the same before the 2016 election.
