that means both mail and in-person, that we just got. so we ve got some fascinating numbers at a level we ve never seen this early. i m going to go through a few with you right now before we bring in our top guests. here s one early headline. turnout is not just up a bit or up double from last cycle, it is now four times the turnout at this point in 2016. what you re looking at is a whopping 29.6 million early votes in. now, there is nothing automatic about that. even if you watch the news and you pay attention and you think, well, it s 2020, there was going to be a lot of interest. that number tells us something now that we didn t know a week ago. for all the talk about pandemic voting, we didn t know that people would be turning out this much this early. this universe of early voters is now expanding. now, that s a civics takeaway. high early turnout. if you re into democracy, it s a good thing. it doesn t tell you anything about each individual candidate. there is also,

tyler moore. you might just make it after all this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. pelley: this is our western edition. we were saddened today by the death of one of television s most beloved stars and a long- time member of our cbs family, mary tyler moore. she died today in a connecticut hospital at the age of 80 after a long battle with a number of health problems. cbs chairman and c.e.o. leslie moonves said mary tyler moore was a once in a generation talent, one of the very best to ever grace our airwaves. a little bit later in the rroadcast we ll have a tribute. but first, in a major development in the trump administration s premier week, with the stroke of a pen, the former real estate developer launched the biggest construction project of his life, a wall on the mexican border estimated to cost around $10 billion. margaret brennan is at the white house. a nation without borders is bet a nation. beginning today the united states of america gets back
