U.S. presidential election already has more than 1.2 million Americans cast their votes based on the ballot returns in some states that have already started their early voting.

About 800,000 of these U.S. presidential election ballots that are already cast were sent in from eight hotly contested states.

Of the 800,000, about 500,000 ballots were cast in North Carolina and Wisconsin.

The high return of mail-in ballots means that many American voters have already decided on who among President Donald Trump and Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden would want to lead the country even ahead of the first presidential debate for September 29.

The high-return of early ballots for the U.S. presidential election also means that many Americans have also followed their elected officials and politicians' advice to mail back their ballots as soon as possible because of concerns of mail delivery delays.

More than 30 million ballot requests for this year's U.S. presidential election have been made from 36 states. These are mostly for mail-in ballots.

Another 43 million ballots have either been mailed or will soon be sent to voters in nine states, including Washington DC, which automatically mail ballots to eligible voters for this year's U.S. presidential election.

Basing on the number of an early request for ballots, the Democrats have a sharp first advantage. Registered Democrat voters have requested 6.5 million ballots while the Republican registered voters only account for 3.8 million ballot requests from 11 states.

However, this data will not necessarily represent the ultimate outcome since most of Trump's supporters prefer to vote in person during the November 3 U.S. presidential election.

Trump's campaign has been urging people to cast their ballots in person and even questioned the mail-in ballots' veracity.

In a tweet last week, Trump stated that there had been much fraud found on mail-in ballots in many elections. The president added that people are now seeing just how bad, dishonest, and slow it is.

Trump continued that mail-in ballots could delay U.S. presidential election results for months, that there would be no more big election night answers. He further said that 1 percent of the mail-in votes could not even be counted in 2016 and puts down mail-in balloting as ridiculous and just a formula for rigging the election. 

In 2016, it took a month to get the final total of votes of the U.S. presidential election. While Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a mile, Trump won the presidency by securing the electoral college votes in several states.

Mail-in ballots take a longer time to count because each vote is checked if the signatures on the ballots match with the signature that is on the registration card.

The high returns of ballots for the U.S. presidential election suggest an eagerness to vote in an election year wherein more Americans will want to cast their votes early because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
