Multiple tier1 and independent sources (AP, BBC, University of Florida Election Lab data) show early voting running well ahead of the 2022 midterm pace, with figures rising through late October, which supports the claim that early voting was surging as of 2026-10-26.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. AP analysis reports early voting significantly outpacing the last midterm, with Texas up 50% and several competitive-Senate states up over 30% versus four years earlier.[1][3]

Supports. BBC citing University of Florida Election Lab reports more than 43 million ballots already cast, with four to five million early votes cast daily, a much higher rate than most previous elections.[2]

Supports. Tracking data and reporting describe the early vote as surpassing prior midterm totals and setting records, with 45.9 million in 2022 surpassed by late October.[4][5][6]

Context. Source [3] and others are dated after 2026-10-26, so they reflect later totals; the surge was already evident in earlier reporting (e.g., 21 million ballots by 2026-10-23 and North Carolina up 37% by 2026-10-24).[6][7]
