Summary
More than 43 million Americans have already voted, according to an AP analysis, putting early turnout about 10 million ballots ahead of the same point in the 2022 midterms.
The surge is concentrated in Senate battlegrounds, where closely fought races are driving heavier participation and both parties are trying to flip seats.
Texas early voting is up 50%, boosting Democratic hopes of electing James Talarico to the Senate for the first time in decades.
Maine, Michigan and Kansas have each posted gains above 30%, with Kansas standing out as Democrat Adam Hamilton runs an unexpectedly tight race against Republican Roger Marshall.
