The political team at the Florida Chamber of Commerce has come across a remarkable trend this campaign season: A huge spike in mail voting by people who rarely vote in primary elections.
Almost half of the mail ballots returned so far for Tuesdays primary election have come from Floridians who voted in either one or zero of the past four primary elections. That means a big, decisive chunk of the vote will come from people who have not been polled, and potentially not courted, targeted or accounted for by countless campaigns across the state.
This is huge, said Marian Johnson, senior vice president of political strategy for the Florida Chamber and one of the foremost experts on Florida campaigns and politics. I can envision election night when the votes are counted that certain people win that nobody thought had a chance, and that being attributed to this trend.
As of Thursday morning, more than 855,000 primary ballots had been cast by mail. More than a quarter of those votes came from Floridians who had not voted in the last four primaries and another 20 percent from people who voted in just one of the last four primaries.
In other words, these are not likely voters surveyed by most pollsters or targeted by sophisticated political campaigns. The trend applies to Democrats and Republicans alike and across the state, said Johnson, who was shocked when she first spotted the trend developing weeks ago.
The first thing I did was go back to my data people and said, 'Are you sure you ran this right?

Not only are their a BUNCH of new voters, voters are crossing party lines in higher numbers than previous elections.
ALL Polls are total crap this year. All of them.
Nobody knows who to poll, nor how those numbers will extrapolate out.
If these are Democrat votes then they are the result of MASSIVE fraud. If they aren’t then it will be a Tsunami for Trump. I am betting the latter.
And the fraud begins...
Lets take a WILD guess as to how many of these absentee votes are from our military! Trump BE AWARE and get out military votes counted!!!!!!!!!
Unlikely voters = Those who have died = Democrat
They need to verify EVERY absentee voter (doesn’t matter what party).
When Trump said he would energize an unengaged electorate, I think he knew what he was talking about. I think he exceeded poll expectations in many, many states during the primary season.
A good “investigative journalist” should investigate a lot of those names and addresses.....Inquiring minds want to know if its fraud or for real...
I am so hoping this means that The Memorizer Bunny is being Cantorized.
Politicians should only be given one chance to betray the citizens.
No debate performance or “October surprise” is going to affect these voters
I am upset with our voting system, which is archaic. This is an issue that must be addressed, but never will be because our current system is beneficial to the Left.
this is for the FL primary
President Trump should give the military a DIRECT ORDER to vote. Watch the rats squeal.
FL primary.
It may mean that Rubio gets canned as he should be for betraying the citizens.
I think your take on this is spot on.
Bump
Thanks to all of the negative ads that came from Mitt Romney’s our principles PAC. The same thing happened in 2012. Mitt Romney doused the state of Florida with a massive amount of negative ads against newt. It later resulted in a low turnout of Republican voters in the general election vs Obama.
My mistake....but the thought process still applies for the General ;-)
Based on my experience noticing lack of people showing up for jury duty indicates there’s a lot of fraudulent voter registrations.
