Fraser Brown scored twice as he captained Scotland for the first time
Warm-up international: Scotland v Georgia Scotland 48 (17) Tries : Graham (2), Brown (2), Watson, McInally, Van der Merwe, Kinghorn Cons : Hastings (4) Georgia 7 (0) Try : Tabutsadze Con : Abzhandadze
Scotland's forwards "stood up well" against a powerful Georgia pack in their 48-7 win at Murrayfield, says head coach Gregor Townsend.
Hooker Fraser Brown scored twice from driving mauls, with his replacement Stuart McInally adding one of his own.
Flanker Hamish Watson also scored a try, adding to efforts by Duhan Van der Merwe, Blair Kinghorn, and two from Darcy Graham.
"It was certainly a good work out for the forwards," Townsend said.
"We knew the Georgians pride themselves on the scrum and the maul and given the conditions underfoot we thought there would be a lot of scrums tonight.
"I thought we stood up well there, we were dominant in the scrum and and certainly in the maul. There are certainly areas to improve on, but it's a first game for a while."
Finn Russell's return from the bench capped a positive night for Scotland.
The fly-half came on midway into the second-half for his first appearance for a year after he played no part in the Six Nations for a breach of team protocol which led to a falling-out with Townsend.
Next up for Scotland is their final match of the interrupted Six Nations against Wales in Llanelli a week on Saturday, before they commence their autumn Nations Cup campaign.
Forwards' grunt opens lead
Playing their first Test since the win against France at Murrayfield seven months ago, it would have been fair to expect some rust from Scotland. Aside from Graham's quick tap and sharp finish after just two minutes, the opening quarter was heavy going, with neither side managing fluid rugby.
What was evident, though, was Scotland's desire to build on their work in the Six Nations earlier this year, when they demonstrated a harder edge up front and a newly stubborn defence.
The forwards were asked to do the heavy lifting, and with due reward. Brown - captaining Scotland for the first time - was the beneficiary as a well constructed maul rumbled over after a lineout as Townsend's side took on Georgia at their own power game.
Georgian ill discipline was a theme, as they reached double figures for penalties conceded before the half-time whistle had even sounded. Scotland capitalised on one of many advantages after battering through phases close to the try-line, as Scott Cummings fed the impressive prop Rory Sutherland, who put in Watson to finish in the corner on 32 minutes.
But another opportunity to extend the 17-0 lead was missed in first-half overtime, as Brown and Cornell Du Preez - who replaced the injured Matt Fagerson - shoved over, but a TMO review was unable to clarify who had managed to ground the ball.
Backs run riot late on
The second half started in the same scrappy manner, but came to life when winger Tabutsadze caught scrum-half Vasil Lobzhanidze's lofted pass after four minutes to sprint in for a score, which was confirmed when a TMO review showed Cummings' touch prevented the final pass from being judged forward.
But any notion of a spectacular comeback was quickly quashed when Brown dropped over from the back of a maul as Scotland reasserted their dominance at the lineout.
That stretched Scotland's lead back to 15 points, and it was then time for Russell to make his long-awaited return for the national side.
The Racing fly-half trotted on with a broad smile on his face for his 50th cap, but slotted into the inside centre position vacated by James Lang, as Hastings remained at 10. He made an instant impact with two brilliant floating passes creating overlaps which Scotland failed to capitalise on.
But it was the lineout maul again which got Scotland over the line. McInally replaced Brown and took his place at the back of the drive to flop over, with Hastings finding the mark with his conversion after missing the previous three.
Scotland's back-line were let loose against a tiring Georgia defence in the final quarter to cap can emphatic victory.
First, Van der Merwe careered on to Russell's inside ball to charge under the posts for a debut score, before Graham added his second of the night after replacement scrum-half George Horne's soft hands put him in at the corner.
Kinghorn's try rounded off a powerful second half and was arguably the pick of all eight tries. The full-back chipped over the Georgia defence - by this point down to 14 men after a yellow card - from deep, and managed to flick the ball back up for himself to trot in and touch down.

bbc--2020-10-23--'People forget I am 28' - Wilshere on leaving West Ham, training in the park and finding a club

Jack Wilshere says he had to leave West Ham because he could n't face the prospect of a year on the sidelines with no hope of playing .
The 28-year-old made just 19 appearances after leaving Arsenal in 2018 .
He has n't started a Premier League game since August 2019 and admits he is in danger of being forgotten .

Jack Wilshere - I've got so much more to give
Jack Wilshere says he had to leave West Ham because he couldn't face the prospect of a year on the sidelines with no hope of playing.
Wilshere's Hammers contract was terminated by mutual consent on transfer deadline day, bringing an end to an unhappy two-year spell at the club he supported as a boy.
The 28-year-old made just 19 appearances after leaving Arsenal in 2018. He hasn't started a Premier League game since August 2019 and admits he is in danger of being forgotten.
But the England midfielder is adamant he has much more to give and is pushing his body through training sessions at his local park to keep himself fit as he looks for a new club.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Wilshere outlined the frustrations of recent months, his determination to find "the right club" and the demands of looking after four kids.
Leaving West Ham
After his Arsenal contract expired, Wilshere was looking forward to a new start at West Ham. But ankle and groin injuries scuppered those hopes with Wilshere starting just two more Premier League games after initially being ruled out in September 2018. He made one 90-minute appearance in the EFL Cup - against Hull - this season.
"People will say what they want and footballers get paid well, but there is nothing more draining and saps your confidence more than when you know you are not going to play, that no matter what you do in training, or what the other players are doing, even if you lose 3-0, you are not going to get an opportunity.
"I didn't want to be around that and in that environment."
Injury frustrations
Over the past five seasons, Wilshere has suffered a number of injuries that have kept him out for extended periods. However, when he recovered from his most recent one, a groin problem, in time to be involved in West Ham's post-lockdown games, he was repeatedly overlooked.
"I missed a lot through injury but always before, when I was fit at Arsenal, I played.
"Last season, when I came back after lockdown, having worked so hard to get back to a good level of fitness and was training every day, it just didn't feel like my opportunity was ever going to come. And, of course, it didn't.
"I didn't like it but we were in the middle of a relegation battle so I understood the team had to come first.
"But when we came back for pre-season, it was the same again. I thought everyone would be given a fresh chance and a clean slate to impress but it never happened for me."
Wilshere has only made 25 or more Premier League appearances in three seasons, since his debut in 2008
Training in a park
With no club, Wilshere has been training with some friends in a local park. It means he is getting to experience the same issues Sunday league footballers have to deal with.
"A group of lads have kindly given their time. I have done a lot of running but there comes a time when you need to have players around you, to get the contact training and that load in your body.
"We go into a park I use during the off-season. It is not like playing at the Emirates but it is good enough.
"You are spoilt in the Premier League. If anything this improves your touch and makes you concentrate because you are expecting a bobble. I feel the pain of players who are on there all the time because the same things happen to me as well. But it is actually quite nice to be in a park, kicking a ball around."
Where next?
As Wilshere's contract was terminated before the transfer deadline closed, he is now a free agent. He can sign for anyone - and, importantly, is available to play immediately. However, after getting it wrong going to West Ham, now he needs to get it right.
"It is important to find a club where I am going to play, be an important player and be happy. I don't want to rush into anything. It has to be the right team in the right country.
"I am open to Europe or wherever.
"I am the type of player who wants to have the ball. I understand there is another side to the game and I enjoy that but I would like to be in a team who has the ball.
"I am not naive enough to think I am going to sign for a club and play straight away. There is a process to it. You have to train with the team, get to know your team-mates, maybe come off the bench a couple of times. I want to get that process going but it has to be the right thing."
Advice from Arsene
Arsene Wenger gave Wilshere his Arsenal debut in 2008, and remains a useful source of advice. The pair spoke about his West Ham situation and will probably do so again before the midfielder decides on his new club.
"I spoke to Arsene when we were negotiating everything with West Ham and he was helpful. When the time is right, as and when I have some options, where they are and what would be best for me, he would probably be the one I would call, yes."
Wilshere became Arsenal's youngest league debutant when he made his debut in 2008, at 16 years and 256 days
How long?
Wilshere has been linked with a number of clubs already. He has not set a deadline on getting something sorted but he wants to avoid being out of the game too long.
"It is a different world when you wake up every day and…I have still been training every day but there is no set time, which is probably the most difficult thing. I have four kids. My missus might say 'do you want to go to the park?' and I am like 'I have to go training'.
"My hat goes off to my wife. It is a mad house, all day.
"I normally wake up and go to work, come back around 2 or 3pm and have three or four hours with the kids. That is a bit mad but all day is something else. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed it for a couple of weeks but there comes a point where I need to get back to a club."
The forgotten man
Once the golden boy of English football, Wilshere won the first of his 34 England caps at the age of 18. He played at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016. But he has disappeared from the international stage since then. His only call-up by Gareth Southgate came in March 2018, when Wilshere had to pull out.
"People forget I am 28. Everyone thinks I am 30 or 31, probably because I started when I was 16. That is 12 years ago, which is a long time in football.
"In my head I have been fit for ages but at the same time, I haven't played games. People probably have forgotten. But there is a difference between fully fit and playing games.
"I have been fully fit for a while but without games you don't get up to speed or get the minutes you need.
"In a year's time, I would like to have 20-25 games behind me at a new club and be looking forward to the future.
"I feel I have much more to give. I just want to be given the opportunity to show it."

bbc--2020-10-24--US Election 2020: Biden seeks to clarify remark on ending oil

US President Donald Trump has seized on a TV debate remark by his White House rival Joe Biden about shutting down the oil industry , as the Democrat scrambled to clear up the confusion .
Biden aides on Friday said he had been talking about ending fossil fuel subsidies , not the industry itself , when he spoke of a `` transition '' from oil .
But the margin is narrower in a handful of states that could vote either way and ultimately decide the race on 3 November .
More than 53 million Americans have already voted in person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driven largely by the coronavirus pandemic .
What did Biden say about oil ?
Mr Biden said fossil fuels had to be replaced by renewable energy over time with the US moving towards net zero emissions .
Democrats from the left of the party are enthused by the idea of the US ending its reliance on oil and gas as part of the fight against climate change .
But such a policy could turn off working-class voters in politically critical states such as Pennsylvania , Ohio and Texas , where many of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has the Biden campaign said since ?
After the TV duel , Mr Biden himself sought to clarify his remarks by saying fossil fuels would not be eliminated until 2050 .
His vice-presidential running mate , Kamala Harris , addressed the controversy on Friday while on the campaign trail in the US state of Georgia .
`` Let 's be really clear about this , '' said the California senator .
`` Joe Biden is not going to ban fracking .
He is going to deal with the oil subsidies .
`` But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was talking about was banning subsidies , but he will not ban fracking in America . ''
In the United States it has significantly boosted domestic oil production and driven down gas prices but has prompted concern from environmentalists who want investment to focus on renewable sources of energy .
Earlier in the campaign cycle Mr Biden had suggested to voters that he favoured ending fracking , but since becoming the Democratic White House nominee he has said his policy is more limited - to end fracking leases on federal land .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thursday night 's presidential debate , Donald Trump highlighted what he said was Joe Biden 's `` big mistake '' .
The Democratic candidate almost made it through the debate without a slip-up , the president laughed , but then he said he wanted to do away with the oil industry .
`` I think he lost five or six states with that one , '' Trump said to cheers from the Pensacola crowd .
The states where Mr Trump thinks he may gain the most ground are places like Texas and Pennsylvania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interests , but he said Floridians should care , too .
Although Mr Biden quickly clarified his comments after the debate , the president seems determined to make this a campaign issue down the stretch , much as he did Hillary Clinton 's comments on moving away from coal power in 2016 .
In Pensacola he also hit Mr Biden on his past comments on fracking and freezing increases in Social Security , complete with video clips played for the crowd .
Up to now , Mr Trump has proven unable to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ past potential controversial comments .
On Thursday night , however , he found some new ammunition .
How has the oil industry reacted ?
What is Biden saying about coronavirus ?
Mr Biden also promised that under his administration a future coronavirus vaccine would be `` free to everyone '' .
Mr Trump has promised the same .
As Mr Trump lapped up positive feedback for his more restrained debate performance on Thursday , Mr Biden tweeted : `` A slight change of tone from the president for one night does n't cover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It does n't change the fact that over 220,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 on his watch .

US President Donald Trump has seized on a TV debate remark by his White House rival Joe Biden about shutting down the oil industry, as the Democrat scrambled to clear up the confusion.
Biden aides on Friday said he had been talking about ending fossil fuel subsidies, not the industry itself, when he spoke of a "transition" from oil.
The Democrat meanwhile again attacked Mr Trump's handling of coronavirus, saying: "He's quit on America."
Mr Biden holds a steady lead in polls.
But the margin is narrower in a handful of states that could vote either way and ultimately decide the race on 3 November.
More than 53 million Americans have already voted in person or by post in a record-breaking turnout driven largely by the coronavirus pandemic.
What did Biden say about oil?
In the final moments of Thursday night's primetime showdown in Nashville, Mr Trump asked his challenger: "Would you close down the oil industry?"
"I would transition from the oil industry, yes," responded Mr Biden, adding, "because the oil industry pollutes significantly".

Mr Biden said fossil fuels had to be replaced by renewable energy over time with the US moving towards net zero emissions.
Democrats from the left of the party are enthused by the idea of the US ending its reliance on oil and gas as part of the fight against climate change.
But such a policy could turn off working-class voters in politically critical states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas, where many of the industry's employees are based.
What has the Biden campaign said since?
The Democrat's aides released a statement following the debate saying Mr Biden planned to phase out taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuel companies, not the industry altogether.
After the TV duel, Mr Biden himself sought to clarify his remarks by saying fossil fuels would not be eliminated until 2050.

His vice-presidential running mate, Kamala Harris, addressed the controversy on Friday while on the campaign trail in the US state of Georgia.
"Let's be really clear about this," said the California senator. "Joe Biden is not going to ban fracking. He is going to deal with the oil subsidies.
"You know, the president likes to take everything out of context.
"But let's be clear, what Joe was talking about was banning subsidies, but he will not ban fracking in America."
Fracking allows drilling firms to access difficult-to-reach resources of oil and gas.
In the United States it has significantly boosted domestic oil production and driven down gas prices but has prompted concern from environmentalists who want investment to focus on renewable sources of energy.
President Trump's allies have immediately begun running new attack ads seizing on Mr Biden's previous conflicting answers on whether he would end fracking.
Earlier in the campaign cycle Mr Biden had suggested to voters that he favoured ending fracking, but since becoming the Democratic White House nominee he has said his policy is more limited - to end fracking leases on federal land.
Trump finds new ammunition
In Florida on his first campaign swing since Thursday night's presidential debate, Donald Trump highlighted what he said was Joe Biden's "big mistake".
The Democratic candidate almost made it through the debate without a slip-up, the president laughed, but then he said he wanted to do away with the oil industry.
"I think he lost five or six states with that one," Trump said to cheers from the Pensacola crowd.
The states where Mr Trump thinks he may gain the most ground are places like Texas and Pennsylvania, which are home to large petrochemical interests, but he said Floridians should care, too.
"You like your gasoline at $2 and less a gallon?" he said.
Although Mr Biden quickly clarified his comments after the debate, the president seems determined to make this a campaign issue down the stretch, much as he did Hillary Clinton's comments on moving away from coal power in 2016. In Pensacola he also hit Mr Biden on his past comments on fracking and freezing increases in Social Security, complete with video clips played for the crowd.
Up to now, Mr Trump has proven unable to make Mr Biden pay a political price for past potential controversial comments. On Thursday night, however, he found some new ammunition.
How has the oil industry reacted?
Fracking tycoon Harold Hamm, a Trump supporter and founder of Continental Resources Inc, told the Wall Street Journal that restricting oil and gas production would lead to higher petrol prices and energy scarcity.
"If Biden gets in, consumers lose," Mr Hamm said.
Mike Sommers, president of the American Petroleum Institute, the industry's leading lobbying group in Washington, said in another interview that Mr Biden's comments were disappointing.
But he noted positively that Mr Biden had also signalled he did not plan any sudden change in oil and gas shale fields.
What is Biden saying about coronavirus?
The Democrat kept hammering away on Friday about the pandemic, a subject that has left the president on the defensive for much of the White House race.
Speaking from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, Mr Biden said: "We're more than eight months into this crisis, the president still doesn't have a plan. He's given up.
"He just wants us to grow numb."
Mr Biden also promised that under his administration a future coronavirus vaccine would be "free to everyone". Mr Trump has promised the same.
As Mr Trump lapped up positive feedback for his more restrained debate performance on Thursday, Mr Biden tweeted: "A slight change of tone from the president for one night doesn't cover up the lies he told.

UFC 254: Khabib Nurmagomedov v Justin Gaethje Venue: Yas Island, Abu Dhabi Date: Saturday, 24 October Follow live text coverage of the main card on the BBC Sport website and app from 20:00 BST
Justin Gaethje will become the latest man to try to beat Khabib Nurmagomedov when he faces the undefeated Russian at UFC 254 on Saturday.
Nurmagomedov, 32, has amassed a 28-0 record in mixed martial arts, becoming one of the UFC's most feared ground-and-pound fighters.
American Gaethje, 31, stands in the way of the UFC lightweight champion becoming arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time.
Why have so many tried and failed to get the better of Nurmagomedov, and what makes him so menacing? BBC commentator and former UFC fighter Dan Hardy explains.
What makes Nurmagomedov so dominant?
Nurmagomedov was a two-time sambo world champion before focusing on MMA, and uses his grappling skills to smother his opponents, getting them on the ground before beating them into submission.
"He's adapted his wrestling style to suit MMA," says Briton Hardy. "He uses the fence a lot, forcing people into positions where they struggle to defend.
"He gets hold of their legs, rips them out from underneath them and puts them on the canvas. Then as soon as they hit the floor he wraps their legs up with his legs and starts controlling their wrists while at the same time hitting them as much as possible.
"It's a cycle he puts people in, and you have a choice of covering from the punches or getting back to your feet. And he's happy to let you try to get up, so he can start breaking you down again.
"Most times - out of frustration or desperation - people start to turn and put their hands palm down on the floor, and that's when he jumps on their back and sinks a choke in, as we saw against Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor."
Breaking down his opponents mentally and physically
Nurmagomedov established himself as one of the leading lightweight contenders with a win over Michael Johnson in November 2016.
During the fight, he kept telling Johnson to "give up", external-link and Nurmagomedov was saying "let's talk now" to McGregor during their bout after a heated build-up to the first defence of his title in October 2018.
"It's another way of showing how much control he has over them," says Hardy. "The McGregor one was dramatic as there was a lot of talk from McGregor going into the fight, but the scary one for me was when he fought Johnson.
"Khabib has no animosity towards the majority of his opponents - he's not necessarily there to hurt them; he's there to do a job and win the fight. But as he was hitting Johnson he kept saying things like 'I have to fight for the belt, you know I deserve this'.
"That showed a scary calculation, that he's having a thought process the same time as he's dismantling these high-level fighters. It's very unusual. Someone might trash talk to get you to attack. But there's no reason for Khabib to be talking, aside from the psychological impact."
How will the death of his father affect Nurmagomedov?
Nurmagomedov has lost his father Abdulmanap (centre) since his last fight - a win over Dustin Poirier
This fight will be Nurmagomedov's first without his father and coach Abdulmanap in his corner after he died in July, aged 57, following complications caused by coronavirus.
"It makes the next two fights important for him," says Hardy. "His goal was always for Khabib to get to 30-0.
"I don't think it changes anything to his approach. If anything, it makes him more ferocious. Poirier got Khabib in a guillotine up against the fence and you could see his father right there. I can imagine Khabib thinking 'there's no way you're finishing this choke with my father in my corner'.
"Now his father's going to be in his mind so much more. It'll make him far more adamant on beating the next two guys."
Is Gaethje the man to beat Nurmagomedov?
Tony Ferguson's fighting style has long been mooted as the best match for beating Nurmagomedov, but this year a potential meeting between the two was cancelled for a fifth time.
Gaethje, a former wrestler, stepped in to beat Ferguson for his fourth straight knockout win and go 22-2, earning a unification bout with Nurmagomedov.
"At times Khabib's looked uncomfortable on his feet and failed several takedowns, but he's constantly improving - his last two fights have been the best version we've seen of him," says Hardy.
"But this will be his toughest test yet. I've been saying it since Gaethje joined UFC [in 2017], that stylistically he's the best version to beat Khabib.
quote I cause damage. I'm going to kick his legs. That's where it'll start, then we'll move on from there. Justin Gaethje on facing Khabib Nurmagomedov
"He doesn't use takedowns, he uses his wrestling purely defensively, and he's only been taken down twice in his UFC career.
"If he's able to keep this fight on their feet, he's got serious one-punch knockout power. And if there is a facet to Khabib's game where he could be exposed, it's his stand-up game.
"Gaethje can potentially stop those takedowns and force him into a striking exchange, where Gaethje has the bigger calibre gun.
"He'll be up against it for the first 10 minutes. But if he can maintain his conditioning through the third round and onwards, it'll be about low kicks and overhand rights - and Gaethje only needs one."
What next for Nurmagomedov?
Hardy feels the Ferguson fight is "still on the table" for Nurmagomedov but there is "not a convincing argument" for a rematch with McGregor.
"My ideal situation would be for Khabib to give up the lightweight belt undefeated, undisputed, and step up to 170 [pounds, welterweight] to retire with a super fight against the great Georges St-Pierre," he says.
"If he can prove himself with the same style and game plan as GSP, who's considered one of the greatest of all time, that'd be a huge statement.
"If Gaethje can win, it would change the landscape entirely."


bbc--2020-10-24--US election 2020: How will early voting impact the election?

Early voting is exactly what it sounds like - it 's where people are allowed to vote before the scheduled election day .
This can be either in-person at early voting stations , or absentee - that is , by post .
In-person early voting is common in Finland and Canada , while Switzerland , Germany and the UK accept postal votes .
In the US , this means people are able to cast their ballots before 3 November - either by post or in-person .
Early voting has steadily increased with each election year .
The number of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election was more than five times the number who voted early 24 years earlier , in 1992 .
And with the Covid-19 pandemic affecting everything this year , and some form of early voting under way in all 50 states , we 're already seeing record numbers of people casting their ballots ahead of time .
Donald Trump is among those who will be voting early .
His spokesman said on Thursday that the president would cast his vote in Florida during a visit this weekend .
So who is voting early , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people have against it ?
Here 's what you need to know .
How many people have voted early so far this year ?
According to the US Elections Project , at the time of writing more than 53 million Americans had voted early - either by post or in person .
This is already more than the total number of early votes cast in the 2016 election .
This site is run by Michael McDonald , a professor at the University of Florida who specialises in early voting , and tracks the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overall .
By his count , the state with the highest number of early voters so far is Texas , where more than 6.3 million people have already voted - for context , that 's almost two million more people than voted for Donald Trump in the state in the last presidential election , and just two million away from the total number of votes cast in Texas in 2016 .
Texas is followed by California , where more than 5.8 million people have voted , and Florida , which has had more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The number of people who 've voted early so far is also already about 37 % of the total number of people who voted in the election in 2016 .
As well as knowing where this year 's early voters live , we are also now getting a sense of who these voters are .
According to the Tufts University Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement ( Circle ) , more than three million young people - classified as those aged between 18 and 29 - had cast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have also shown that young voters could turn out in greater numbers this year than in the last election .
In 2016 , turnout was just over 46 % among 18 to 29-year-olds - while 71 % of people older than 65 voted .
This year , a Harvard Youth Poll suggests that as many as 63 % of people the same age will vote .
More African Americans are voting early this year , too .
According to analysis from data firm TargetSmart , more than six times as many black voters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year , compared to the same point in 2016 .
Why are so many people voting early ?
The traditional way of voting - thousands of people going to a single polling station on one particular day , queuing with other people for hours , and standing in polling booths that are in proximity to each other - is not particularly conducive to social distancing measures , particularly when not all states have mandated face coverings indoors .
So for this election , at least 30 states have made adjustments to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cast absentee votes .
This includes , for example , removing strict requirements for people to have an excuse to have a postal vote , or allowing people to cite their concerns about Covid-19 as their excuse .
Some states have also implemented ballot drop boxes , so people do n't have to go to a crowded polling station , or have offered to prepay postage on election ballots that are sent in by post .
In North Carolina , the state 's board of elections extended the deadline for postal ballots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until 12 November would be counted - as long as they were postmarked on or before 3 November .
Some states have also brought the start date for early in-person voting forward from last year - for example , Texas moved its start date forward by six days , from 19 to 13 October .
And in Pennsylvania , the state supreme court ruled that ballots needed to be mailed in with a secrecy envelope hiding the identity of the voter .
However , because this decision was announced so soon before voting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers of so-called `` naked ballots '' would be declared invalid .
There are also currently more than 300 lawsuits in 44 states concerning how absentee votes are counted , who is allowed to vote early , and how mail-in ballots are collected .
Republican-run states say restrictions are necessary to prevent voter fraud , but Democrats say these are attempts at voter suppression .
How could this impact the election ?
However , this is n't a reliable indicator of who will win the election in the end .
President Trump launched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year , arguing that expanded mail-in voting would lead to the `` most corrupt election '' in US history and promoting claims that people would be able to vote more than once in the absentee ballot system .
His dislike of postal voting may influence some of his supporters to wait until election day to cast their vote in person .
To clarify - there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the absentee voting system .
In fact , the rate of voting fraud overall in the US is between 0.00004 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2017 study by the Brennan Center for Justice .

Early voting is exactly what it sounds like - it's where people are allowed to vote before the scheduled election day.
This can be either in-person at early voting stations, or absentee - that is, by post. In-person early voting is common in Finland and Canada, while Switzerland, Germany and the UK accept postal votes.
In the US, this means people are able to cast their ballots before 3 November - either by post or in-person.
Early voting has steadily increased with each election year. The number of people who voted early in the 2016 presidential election was more than five times the number who voted early 24 years earlier, in 1992.
And with the Covid-19 pandemic affecting everything this year, and some form of early voting under way in all 50 states, we're already seeing record numbers of people casting their ballots ahead of time.
Donald Trump is among those who has voted early, casting his vote in his home state of Florida.
But the process hasn't been universally popular.
So who is voting early, and why? And what do some people have against it? Here's what you need to know.
How many people have voted early so far this year?
According to the US Elections Project, as of 2 November more than 99 million Americans had voted early - either by post or in person. This is already more than the total number of early votes cast in the 2016 election.
This site is run by Michael McDonald, a professor at the University of Florida who specialises in early voting, and tracks the number of votes cast by state and overall.

By his count, the state with the highest number of early voters so far is California, where more than 12 million people have already voted.
Next is Texas, where the 9.7 million total has surpassed the total turnout for the state in 2016.
Florida has had more than 8.9 million early voters so far.
The number of people who've voted early so far is also already 72% of the total number of people who voted in the election in 2016.
Who is voting early?
As well as knowing where this year's early voters live, we are also now getting a sense of who these voters are.
First of all, we know that a lot of early voters this year are young.
According to the Tufts University Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (Circle), more than five million young people - classified as those aged between 18 and 29 - had cast early votes by 26 October.
About three million of those young votes were cast in 14 battleground states, Circle adds.
Polls have also shown that young voters could turn out in greater numbers this year than in the last election.
In 2016, turnout was just over 46% among 18 to 29-year-olds - while 71% of people older than 65 voted. This year, a Harvard Youth Poll suggests that as many as 63% of people the same age will vote.
More African Americans are voting early this year, too. According to analysis from data firm TargetSmart, more than six times as many black voters had cast early votes by 18 October this year, compared to the same point in 2016.
Why are so many people voting early?
One overarching reason is the coronavirus pandemic.
The traditional way of voting - thousands of people going to a single polling station on one particular day, queuing with other people for hours, and standing in polling booths that are in proximity to each other - is not conducive to social distancing measures, particularly when not all states have mandated face coverings indoors.
So for this election, at least 30 states have made adjustments to make it easier and more accessible for people to cast absentee votes.
This includes, for example, removing strict requirements for people to have an excuse to have a postal vote, or allowing people to cite their concerns about Covid-19 as their excuse.
Some states have also implemented ballot drop boxes, so people don't have to go to a crowded polling station, or have offered to prepay postage on election ballots that are sent in by post.
Others, such as California and Colorado, have proactively sent all eligible voters mail-in ballots - a practice known as universal mail-in voting.
In North Carolina, the state's board of elections extended the deadline for postal ballots, saying that any ballots received up until 12 November would be counted - as long as they were postmarked on or before 3 November.
Some states have also brought the start date for early in-person voting forward from last year - for example, Texas moved its start date forward by six days, from 19 to 13 October.
Minnesota and South Dakota were the earliest states to begin early voting, with in-person voting starting 46 days before the election.
And while not all states have in-person early voting, those that don't are accepting early mail-in ballots.
Having said that, voting early doesn't necessarily mean voting easily.
In Georgia, for example, thousands of people waited for hours to vote at in-person polling stations.

And in Pennsylvania, the state supreme court ruled that ballots needed to be mailed in with a secrecy envelope hiding the identity of the voter. However, because this decision was announced so soon before voting opened, it caused concern that significant numbers of so-called "naked ballots" would be declared invalid.
There are also currently more than 300 lawsuits in 44 states concerning how absentee votes are counted, who is allowed to vote early, and how mail-in ballots are collected. Republican-run states say restrictions are necessary to prevent voter fraud, but Democrats say these are attempts at voter suppression.
How could this impact the election?
Perhaps the most obvious way an increase in early voting will affect the election is by driving up overall turnout.
Prof McDonald, who runs the US Elections Project, told Reuters news agency that he predicts that a record 150 million people could vote in this election - which would be about 65% of eligible voters in the country, and the highest turnout by percentage since 1908.
And according to Prof McDonald's data so far, the mail-in ballots are already leaning towards a Democrat majority.
However, this isn't a reliable indicator of who will win the election in the end.
President Trump launched a campaign against postal voting earlier this year, arguing that expanded mail-in voting would lead to the "most corrupt election" in US history and promoting claims that people would be able to vote more than once in the absentee ballot system. His dislike of postal voting may influence some of his supporters to wait until election day to cast their vote in person.
