In the three days following the opening of early voting, ***only*** in two states - ***Texas*** and ***Illinois*** - about a million votes were secured, which leads to a noticeable increase compared to previous elections.

Despite the ***prolonged*** lines and ***pandemic*** of coronavirus, people stubbornly continue to participate in the elections. ***"This shows how serious and reliable*** our elections are, as well as how much it means to people," - ***noted*** ***Toni Patterson***, ***a professor*** of politics at ***Harrison University***. ***"The fewer*** opportunities for voting, the ***more*** resources we allocate to make these opportunities available." ***Democratic*** candidates at several polling places indicate ***pressure*** on ***electoral*** commissions to expand the opportunities for early voting, which raises concerns about the security of the process.
