I wonder how high this number rises once we can vote online.

In the presidential election of 2008, approximately 39.7 million or 30% of all votes were cast prior to Election Day, November 4, 2008. This is a significant increase from 20% in 2004 and part of the upward trend experienced since 1992, when 7% of all votes were cast early. These numbers are likely to increase in subsequent presidential elections as more states adopt early voting and more voters become comfortable with the practice. A summary of these early voting laws can be found at Paul Gronke’s excellent Early Voting Center. I discuss the bright future of early voting – among other trends – in this article available at the on-line political science journal, The Forum.
