As people finalize their voting choices on Election Day, a lot remains uncertain. But one thing is already abundantly clear, which is that our democracy is alive and well. All those warnings about President Trump destroying our democratic institutions are being exposed for what they were — tactical or strategic partisan shots.

Heading into Tuesday, about 100 million people had already cast ballots either through in-person early voting or by mail. In many states, turnout met or exceeded total turnout for all 2016 as of midday Monday. Turnout was already at 91.2% of the state’s total 2016 vote in Nevada; 93.7% in Florida; 93.9% in Georgia; 95.4% in North Carolina; 97.3% in New Mexico; 99.1% in Montana; and a staggering 108.3% in Texas. That’s all before a single in-person Election Day vote has been cast.
