Although the official election day is November 3, in practice the election began on Friday when in-person early voting began in four states, Minnesota, Virginia, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Lines of voters stretched from polling places in Virginia and Minnesota as early voting started in four states, the first of the 2020 presidential election.
The longest lines were found in Virginia, where voters previously needed a reason to cast an early ballot. In the state’s Fairfax County, where reports showed lines stretching for hours, election workers scrambled to open an additional voting room at the county government centre.

Jesus, I live in Canada. We just show up and vote. Come to think of it, I was in hospital for the last Federal election. Elections Canada sent staff and volunteers through the wards to make sure we could vote.
