Election Day is quickly approaching and more than 235 million Americans will be eligible to vote, according to an estimate by Shonel Sen of the University of Virginia’s Demographics Research Group .
Combine that with a historic voter turnout in the 2018 midterms and a global pandemic, the 2020 presidential election is shaping up to be one like never before.
