US election 2020: Voting starts in one month with absentee ballots
Election Day 2020 is now less than three months away. In reality, however, the election starts in one month; on September 4, North Carolina will begin sending absentee ballots to voters.
The fact is that we no longer have one election day in this country, especially in the age of coronavirus. And with a record number of voters saying they'll be voting via absentee (or mail) or early in-person, it could mean that President Donald Trump has less time to make up his deficit against former Vice President Joe Biden.
North Carolina is one of many states that starts sending its absentee ballots out more than a month before Election Day actually occurs. In fact, states containing more than a combined 350 electoral votes will begin shipping absentee ballots out to voters a month or before the election begins.
This list of states includes a number of contests that, at this point, look to be competitive on the presidential level: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin. All of these battleground states except for Texas have no excuse absentee or mail-in voting. In fact, Texas is the only battleground state overall that won't have no excuse absentee voting or allow coronavirus as an excuse to cast a ballot by mail.
