Trump, Clinton turn their attention to early voting
Early voting is a key weapon in battleground states, particularly for Democrats.
They are the cliches of any campaign: Turnout Matters, The Only Poll That Counts Is the One on Election Day, It All Comes Down to Turnout, Your Vote Counts.
But for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who faced off in their last presidential debate Oct. 19, these cliches have come into sharp focus as their attention turns to get-out-the-vote efforts.
And one key weapon in this battle is early voting, particularly for Democrats, who have outpaced Republicans in this regard in every election since 2002.
Thirty-seven states offer some kind of early voting — in person, absentee or by mail — without an excuse needed.
