While campaigning and fundraising for the US Presidential elections may have been disrupted because of COVID-19, concerns are also being raised on how the elections will be conducted in these unprecedented times. Postponement of the elections in highly unlikely since the Presidential elections were never postponed in US history, even during the US Civil War, World War I, World War II, 9/11 Terrorist Attacks or the Spanish Flu. The 59^th quadrennial presidential election of the United States is scheduled to take place on 03 November 2020. 

Indian Americans were more likely to be identified as Democrats

Based on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community’s data, a survey was conducted in 2018. The survey revealed that party identification varied by origin group. For instance, Vietnamese Americans were more likely to identify as Republican as compared to other Asian Americans. Likewise, Indian Americans were the most likely to be Democrats than any other Asian group with half of Indian Americans identifying as Democrats and merely 18% as Republican. Whether these holds true even today is doubtful because of the outreach and events that the Republican President Trump attended along with Indian PM Narendra Modi. 

More than 30% of the eligible Asian American voters lived in California (3.6 million) followed by New York (0.92 million), and Texas (0.69 million). In Hawaii, Asian Americans made up 38% of the eligible voters, more than any other group.  California had the second highest share with 14% Asian Americans in the electorate accounting for 62% of the total Asian American population there.
