PoliticsEarly voting rises in Virginia amid fight over Trump’s mail-ballot limits

Voters in heavily Democratic northern Virginia are turning out early as a broader shift in American voting habits continues. In 2024, 32 percent of voters cast ballots early in person, up from 21 percent in the 2022 midterms. Trump has repeatedly challenged mail voting, while his administration has pursued restrictions that the Supreme Court blocked from taking effect for these midterms.
