Almost 10000 ballots cast in Westchester breaks county's early voting record

"We are just over 5,000 votes away from surpassing the entirety and we still have a week to go", Garza said.

Vanessa Reilly, 38, a computer programmer, cast an early vote for Biden at the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn.

As of Saturday, at least 56.5 million Americans have already cast their ballots in early voting across the country, which could amount to the highest voter turnout rate in over a century, according to the US Elections Project.

There will be no early voting on November 2, it added.

Democrats are urging people to vote early as a precaution, and in some cases long lines have formed at places where voters can drop off their ballots. Each county throughout the state is reporting its highest-ever early voting numbers.

Droves of people headed to the polls in New York City Saturday, creating long lines that wrapped around polling locations on the first day that the state allowed early voting.

New Yorkers jammed polling places and stood in line for hours to cast ballots on the state's first day of early voting on Saturday, rushing to record their choices 10 days ahead of the November 3 presidential election.

Garza's advice to voters: "People prepare, know where you are going to go vote, have a plan, review your sample ballot and be patient with the poll workers out there; they are your friends and neighbors".

One week is left until election day, with the presidential race heating up with each passing day.
