I think a max of 2/3.
The media loves to hype things, and I think "expected voter turnout" is just another of the things they hype.
With that said, I think the voter turn-out will be markedly higher.

Consider this........the more people that vote early........the less people that will vote on "election day".

One problem with "voting early" is......What do you do if something happens that changes your mind before election day? Can you get your ballot back even though election day hasn't happened yet? There is a reason why EVERYONE was supposed to vote at the same time.

The real problem with this "set-up" is that it just opens up MANY more opportunities for fraud.

We as Americans with all of our technology and skills and innovative ability should be absolutely ashamed of the mockery and ability to defraud that has been built into our elections.

It will soon be necessary to use facial recognition and computers to verify that each person only votes once and is only REGISTERED one time and one place to vote.

Thank you liberals for once again with your "good intentions" helping to destroy.

Just want to reiterate the poll is about OVERALL turnout. At the polls, early voting, mail in. How many people will cast a vote this election year.
