The United States of America is gearing up to cast their vote on November 3, 2020. The US Presidential election is possibly the most widely and closely watched electoral contest anywhere. November 3 is a momentous day for the US, but the battle between US President Donald Trump and democratic party candidate, Joe Bidden is getting intense ahead of it. According to reports, more than 96 million Americans had already voted, as a majority of states are reporting record early voting turnout in the 2020 election. And among the early voters, senior citizens have shown massive enthusiasm. Age or the coronavirus pandemic could not stop the elderly citizens from the US to cast their vote. With only a few hours left for the US Presidential Election 2020 to begin, in this article, we bring you videos and photos of elderly people from the early voting season. They either showed up early to the polls or voted by mail ahead of the Election Day and the videos and pictures are sure to inspire you to go vote.
The pre-election day voting witnessed a massive turnout compared to the last cycle. So far, the votes represent more than twice the final early vote in 2016 and 70% of the total vote in the same year. While it is too soon to know how that record turnout could translate on the Election Day, the early voting numbers suggest a high level of enthusiasm for voting this year, especially among the senior citizens. Despite the obstacles of the pandemic, they either turned up to cast their vote personally or voted by mail.
Many videos and photos appeared on social media that show how the senior citizens have eagerly visited the polls to cast their vote. Accompanied by their family members, the true spirit of the elderly citizens in the country are sure to inspire you to go vote, if at all, any other thought is occurring in your mind.

An Inspiring Story
Today I had the honor to escorting my 104.5 year-old friend Ruth to vote.
She was born before women had the right to vote.
Her 1st vote was for FDR.
Her dad died of the flu during the pandemic of 1918, when she was 2.
This is her voting story today. pic.twitter.com/FaJlPhGT42
