Florida Mail-In votes thus far to 10/14/2018 as posted by the Florida Secretary of State this morning at 9:25 AM (EST):
Republicans - 149,205 votes cast & recorded. Democrats - 118,894 votes cast & recorded. Others - 1,866 votes cast & recorded. No Party Affiliation- 57,400 votes cast & recorded.
Republicans now lead Democrats by a margin of 30,311. This report concludes the first full week of Florida Mail-In voting. Take note: Florida Early Voting in person begins on 11/22/2018.
It appears that the Blue Wave in Florida is just not there. Unless a devastating, incident occurs...it is beginning to look like Democrat, Senator, Bill Nelson & Democrat, Mayor, Andrew Gillum will both lose their election races to Republican, Governor, Rick Scott for Senator and to Republican Ron DeSantis, for Governor. As such I believe both Texas & Florida will go to the Republicans, with ease!!! We shall soon see, if I am right or wrong!!!
Hurricane Michael aimed right at the state’s Trump/DeSantis stronghold. Will be very tough to get all those votes now.
I hope Herculean efforts are being made to make it possible.
An unfortunate racial angle to your post.
It was my understanding that they still didn’t have totals from south Florida and a few other bid D areas.
If this is a complete reporting across the entire state there, GOP will win handily the statewide races
Love good news!
“”Tallahassee did not get touched. and only 30,000 people had no power as of yesterday do the problem will be gone by Monday.””
Same thing you posted on a different thread - still doesn’t make any sense.
I live in the panhandle. The devastation around Panama City and Tyndall AFB is incredible. I am very concerned that in addition to all the other problems associated with this, it could negatively affect turnout in this very conservative area.
I wouldn’t say Tallahassee didn’t get touched. I have two big trees down in my yard, both of which just missed the house.
In the Florida county I live in, absentee ballots are counted along with all the ones cast on election day. I believe only military ballots are allowed to come in late. Absentee ballots must be received by the supervisor of elections by election day.
Hummm ... donkey math 140-119 = 30
How many walk-in same day voters, chad-hangers, alien voters are needed in South Florida?
Remember, JLA, this is a FL pattern, that Rs lead in “absentee” mail in voting, sometimes by over 100,000 in the presidential year; Ds catch up rapidly with “walk-in early voting”; then election day usually is the decider.
Minion in 2012 led big in absentees, lost the walk-in early huge, won election day but not enough to overcome the walk ins.
Broward isn’t a factor.
We need to stop blaming “fraud” for every damn loss. In 2016, the ONLY fraud I could see that actually shifted a race were the 1,500 legal MA residents who crossed into NH to vote for Cankles.
There were illegals voting in NV, but not enough to affect the outcome. Ds still would have won there.
Do other states have their mail ins posted online? I can’t find them in TX but might not be looking in the right place.
Indies could go 2:1 for Ds and still be short of R total.
I have never believed Gillum’s Island could win that race. I think he overpolls like crazy (Walker, in WI, always underpolls for some reason).
I expect more Puerto Rico horror stories to help gin up what a failure Trump was (even though it was local failures - purposeful or not, that hampered recovery)
We’re all in this together. Thank you for the post which was very important and informative.
Nope this is everything. Broward et Al...
One huge difference this year again is the sheer number of absentee ballots. It’s now supplanting early voting and election day voting.
It’s pretty impressive to watch this trend from 2010 to 2018.
Iowa does.
Similar numbers to 2014 ( favorable GOP year) and less like 2012.
