全美提前投票逾4900万创中期选举纪录：逼近5000万、已超2022年选举日前总量
据路透社10月31日报道，本届中期选举的提前投票人数已创下中期选举纪录：据 University of Florida 的 Election Lab 统计，逾4,900万美国人已经亲身或以邮寄方式投出选票，逼近5,000万大关。
这一数字高于2022年上届中期选举选举日之前投出的近4,600万张选票，而距离11月3日（周二）的选举日还有数日，提前投票总量预计还将继续上升。
本届选举将改选众议院全部435个席位与参议院100个席位中的35个，选举结果将决定国会控制权，并影响总统特朗普余下两年任期的施政空间。
选战进入最后一个周末。路透社报道，特朗普过去一个月在多州密集助选，本周六没有出行安排，周日将前往 Kansas 与 Iowa 继续助选行程。
选民对计票公正的信心方面，9月30日至10月5日进行的 Reuters/Ipsos 民调显示，76%的选民相信自己的选票会被准确计票，15%没有信心，其余未表态；这一信心水平在两党选民中大致相当。
Early Voting Tops 49 Million, a Midterm Record, as Campaign Enters Final Weekend
More than 49 million Americans have already cast early ballots in this year's midterm elections, a record for a midterm cycle, Reuters reported on October 31, citing the University of Florida's Election Lab. The total, covering ballots cast in person and by mail, is nearing 50 million.
The figure is up from nearly 46 million ballots cast before Election Day in the last midterms, in 2022, and is expected to keep rising with several days left before Election Day on Tuesday, November 3.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate seats are up for grabs. The outcome will decide control of Congress and shape the final two years of President Donald Trump's term.
The campaign has entered its final weekend. Reuters reported that Trump, after a month of campaign stops in multiple states, has no travel scheduled on Saturday and returns to the trail on Sunday in Kansas and Iowa.
On confidence in the count, a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted September 30 to October 5 found 76 percent of voters confident their ballots will be counted accurately, 15 percent not confident, and the rest unsure or not answering; confidence was about equally high among Republicans and Democrats.
