With one week to go before polling day, Americans have already cast 69 million ballots, putting the 2020 election on track for the highest rate of voter turnout in over 100 years, according to Sky News contributor Michael Ware.
According to the non-partisan US Elections Project forecast,150 million Americans will vote in 2020, the highest turnout rate per eligible voter since 1908.
However, Professor Michael McDonald, who runs the Us Election Project, told US media outlet Rolling Stone he is predicting the turnout to surpass the 150 million mark.
Mr Ware told Sky News the high early voter turnout shows most Americans have already figured out who they will vote for.
“Remember, Australia is one of the few countries on the planet where it is mandatory to vote, where everyone is forced off their sofa every couple years,” he said.
“In America, it (voting) is not mandatory… but while all 50 states are voting, only 19 are giving the public an indication how the vote is going.
“In 16 of those 19 states, the voting turnout has overwhelmingly favored the Democrat.
“Now everyone is predicting on election day that is when Republicans will show up to the polls.
“One thing it does tell you, besides the enthusiasm and desire to get involved, is that most Americans have clearly already decided who they will vote for.”
