As of 8:30 a.m. PT on Oct. 27, over 40.1 million Americans have cast a vote through early voting methods, as of Saturday evening, according to data from the University of Florida's Election Lab.

The majority of those early votes come from mail ballots with over 20.8 million mail ballots returned nationally, the data showed. The remaining 19.2 million come from votes cast at in-person early voting polling sites across the country.

Early voting options are now open to voters in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Many early voting periods will last until the weekend before Election Day.

Latino leaders pray with Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump as he participates in a roundtable with Latino leaders Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024, in Doral, Fla.

Trump returned to his Doral, Florida, golf club to host a roundtable with Latino community members Tuesday and used the opportunity to criticize Harris for not having any campaign events that day.

The roundtable was supposed to be focused on Trump's appeal to Latino Americans, but during his opening remarks, Trump gave a generic, rambling stump speech where he complained about his heavy campaign schedule compared to Harris'. The vice president is off the trail on Tuesday and taping interviews for NBC News and Telemundo.

"She's sleeping right now. She couldn't go on the trail. You know, you think when you have 14 days left, you wouldn't be sleeping. She's not doing anything today," Trump said, not mentioning her TV interviews scheduled for Tuesday.

As the topic of exhaustion came up into the final stretch of the campaign, Trump kept going after Harris for taking days off as he talked about how much he was campaigning.

"Who the hell takes off? You have 14 days left, and she'll take a couple of more days off too. You know why she's lazy as hell, and she's got that reputation," he said.

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division launched a webpage on Tuesday that compiles information to help voters in states impacted by recent hurricanes Helene and Milton to have access to the ballot.

The resources are aimed to help voters in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia.

"The site identifies and provides links to various state changes made to accommodate voters who have been displaced, lost their identification documents, have had polling sites moved or who are unsure where or how they can vote. It also provides contact information so that voters can reach local voting officials who can provide the most specific and up-to-date guidance," the Justice Department said in a statement.

Bruce Springsteen to headline concert series in support of Kamala Harris

Bruce Springsteen will be headlining a concert with former President Barack Obama in support of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Bruce Springsteen will be headlining two concerts, alongside former President Barack Obama, in support of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Springsteen will kick off the concert series in Atlanta with Harris and Obama on October 24, before heading to Philadelphia for a show on Oct. 28.

Additional concerts are expected to be announced in the coming days.

In October, Springsteen announced his support for Vice President Kamala Harris in a social media post, saying Harris and Governor Tim Walz have "a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all" and that Donald Trump, "doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American."

Senate Dems release report on early voting

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., leaves the stage after speaking at an event kicking off a national "Reproductive Freedom Bus Tour" in Boynton Beach, Fla.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., leaves the stage after speaking at an event kicking off a national "Reproductive Freedom Bus Tour" in Boynton Beach, Fla.

Democratic senators, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Rules Committee Chair Amy Klobuchar, released a report Tuesday urging Americans to cast their ballots as soon as possible and warning that election results may not be known on Election Day.

"Just like 2020, Donald Trump and his allies continue to refuse to commit to accepting the results of the election if he loses while pushing dangerous and divisive rhetoric to sow discord and undermine confidence in our election process. Americans losing faith in the results of our elections doesn't just risk another January 6th but puts our very democracy at risk," Schumer said in a statement with the release of the report. "Senate Democrats remain committed to ensuring all Americans can vote without fear or intimidation."

The report details the early voting and mail-in ballot count procedures, including details on how and when some swing states count their ballots.

Using these details, the report asserts that "early vote counts may create the appearance that one particular candidate is ahead but that may change depending on whether in-person or mail-in vote totals are reported first. Americans should be prepared to reject misinformation and be patient about results in places where counting ballots may take longer."

Trump still refuses to accept that he lost the 2020 election and has encouraged voters to cast ballots for him on Nov. 5 so that his margin of victory is "too big to rig."
