缅因州联邦参议员选战提前投票数据公布：民主党人以55比19领先
根据目标智能（TargetSmart）与美国全国广播公司（NBC）汇总的各州选举数据，截至10月16日晚，全美已有近800万选民通过提前投票或邮寄选票完成投票。在已投票的登记选民中，54%为民主党人、30%为共和党人、16%为独立选民或其他党派。这一数据反映的是选民登记党派归属，而非实际投票选择。
在缅因州的联邦参议员选战中，民主党人的领先优势同样明显：已投票选民中登记为民主党人的占55%，共和党人占19%，另有超过四分之一为"其他"类别。共和党现任参议员苏珊·柯林斯（Susan Collins）正在谋求第六个任期，民主党挑战者是前缅因州参议院议长特洛伊·杰克逊（Troy Jackson）。
柯林斯是今年在2024年投给前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的州寻求连任的唯一共和党参议员，多家民调显示两人势均力敌。民主党方面将这场选战视为决定参议院控制权的关键席位之一。
政治学者指出，提前投票数据显示民主党人热情更高，但目前尚无法判断这是否意味着选举日会出现
整体投票潮，仍有待选举日当天的投票情况验证。

Early-Vote Data in Maine's Senate Race: Democrats Lead 55 to 19 in Ballots Cast
According to state election data compiled by TargetSmart and NBC News, as of the evening of Oct. 16 nearly 8 million voters nationwide had already cast ballots through early voting or mail-in ballots. Among registered voters who have voted, 54% are Democrats, 30% Republicans and 16% independents or other affiliations. The figures reflect voters' party registration, not how they actually voted.
In Maine's U.S. Senate race, the Democratic edge is equally clear: 55% of those who have voted are registered Democrats, 19% Republicans, and more than a quarter fall in the "other" category. Republican Senator Susan Collins is seeking a sixth term; her Democratic challenger is Troy Jackson, former president of the Maine Senate.
Collins is the only Republican senator seeking re-election this year in a state that voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, and multiple polls show the race close. Democrats view the seat as one of the keys to control of the Senate.
Political scientists note that the early-vote data show higher Democratic enthusiasm, but it is too soon to tell whether that means an overall turnout surge; election-day voting will be the test.
