Sources published days after the 2026-10-27 claim report early voting data from 46 to 47 states plus D.C., so 'over 40 states' is supported as of the claim date.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said

The DSR Network · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The AP, compiled from state data and published 2026-10-30, says figures cover 47 states and Washington, D.C. five days before Election Day.[1]
Supports. A 2026-10-28 tracker summary says state election offices had reported early or mail ballots in 46 states that publish counts, which is consistent with more than 40 reporting states.[2]
Supports. The AP-compiled figures were syndicated by other outlets (Mercury News, KHQ), which repeat the same 47-state count rather than providing independent confirmation.[3][4]
Context. Sources show the number of reporting states differs by tracker and date, and the claim's own 'over 40' figure is a lower bound that the record exceeds.[5][6][7]
