NYT: About 37 percent of registered voters in the crucial swing state of Florida have already cast their ballots, setting the stage for potentially record-breaking turnout, state officials said.

A little more than 2.6 million people voted early from Oct. 20 to Nov. 2, of 11.2 million registered voters, according to the Florida Secretary of State’s office. In addition, election officials estimate more than 1.5 million people voted by absentee ballots.

Early voting in states across the country has been breaking records. In Colorado, for example, 56 percent of registered voters cast their ballots early in-person or by absentee with Democrats holding a slight edge over Republicans.

In North Carolina, more than 40 percent of registered voters have already cast their ballots, with Democrats accounting for 51 percent and Republicans just 30 percent.
