(Radio Iowa) - At least 675,000 Iowans cast ballots before Election Day.
Data from the Iowa Secretary of State's website shows Republicans with a statewide edge over Democrats in early voting. However, Democrats outnumbered Republicans casting absentee ballots in the first, second and third congressional districts.
Nearly one-point-seven million Iowans were active registered voters on Friday, November 1st. The data suggests around 40 percent of them had already voted when precincts opened this (Tuesday) morning for Election Day.
