Early voting patterns offer clues to who may win White House More than 27 million people have already voted in the US presidential election, and early trends are offering some hints of the outcome less than a week before Election Day. Six days before the election, voters have cast six point seven million more early ballots compared to the same period in 2012. The numbers hold both good news and bad for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton as she battles her Republican challenger Donald Trump in a tightening final dash for the White House. Early voting tallies indicate Democrats are turning out in greater numbers than Republicans in some states giving an advantage to Hilary Clinton. But turnout is lagging among young people and African Americans, key constituencies that made Barack Obama win in 2008. SOURCE: BBC NEWS
