US east coast kicks off major Election Day as early votes hit new records

The eastern United-States kicked-off another big election tuesday morning‚ following an impressive early-voting turnout that changed usual voting patterns

Battleground states showed record-breaking numbers with Georgia and North Carolina leading the way — these regions might determine the final outcome. Early-voting stats indicate a major shift in how people choose to cast their ballots (specially in swing-states)

The situation in Georgia looks particularly interesting: more than 4-mln citizens already made their choice before election day. A high-ranking rep from the stateʼs office noted; the actual polling stations might look empty today. This state which switched between parties in last two presidential runs‚ shows how voting habits are changing: most people dont wait for the main day anymore
