Early voting means 2020 primary is already here for millions

Associated Press  

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Iowa caucuses are more than a week away, but millions of Americans are already free to vote. “We need supporters for Mike Bloomberg to vote early, independent of whatever is going on,” said Will Dubbs, deputy states director for Bloomberg’s campaign. Early voting opens new opportunities for people with strict work schedules or other barriers to voting to find time to cast ballots beyond the typical Election Day, spokeswoman Sarah Ford said. “I want to do this first because I’m for something, not voting against something.” The biggest early voting state, California, will mail ballots to more than 12 million voters starting Feb. 3, the same day as the Iowa caucuses, though not all of those voters will get a Democratic primary ballot. “The question every campaign, if it’s honest, is asking itself is: ‘How many new votes have I turned out?’” But other observers say early voting can affect candidates’ momentum.
