A record-breaking surge of mail-voting Democrats in Florida has handed Joe Biden a massive lead over President Donald Trump in his must-win home state.
But here come the Republicans.
The start of in-person voting Monday is expected to trigger a conservative wave that will build over the next two weeks and crest on Election Day. Around two-thirds of participating Florida GOP voters are likely to cast a ballot in person this fall, raising the question of whether Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, will be able to hold off a Trump comeback by the time the polls close at 7 p.m. on Nov. 3.
“Our voters have said they would like to vote in person,” said Susie Wiles, the operative leading Trump’s Florida campaign. “And our expectation is that’s what they’ll do, whether it’s early or on Election Day.” As of Sunday, more than 1.2 million Democrats had voted by mail in Florida, compared to 754,000 Republicans. That gives Biden an enormous edge that his supporters have held up as a leading indicator that the former vice president will end Trump’s presidency by taking Florida’s 29 electoral college votes.
But if Florida turnout matches 2016, there are likely still 8 million or so ballots left to be counted over the next 15 days. ...
Fifteen days out from Election Day in 2016, according to his data, there were about 36,000 more Republican super voters than Democratic super voters who had yet to cast ballots. This year, with 15 days to go, there are 471,000 more Republican high-propensity voters than Democrat super voters still to cast ballots.

Tyson says there’s no reason for Trump to panic about Democrats' massive mail ballot lead. Fifteen days out from Election Day in 2016, according to his data, there were about 36,000 more Republican super voters than Democratic super voters who had yet to cast ballots. This year, with 15 days to go, there are 471,000 more Republican high-propensity voters than Democrat super voters still to cast ballots.
we will be early voting on Thursday. Trump!
TRUMPA BAY !!
Scott Adams stated “it’s usually best to go second.” There’s time to see what’s going on and analyze and adjust when the other team is going first.
“Super voters” ha ha—that must be like the Super Spreader covid events.
Panic people. Panic as if your country depends on you, because it does.
Good. The conservatives in Florida aren’t toobining around but getting their votes in. The yare really sticking it to those left wing toobinheads.
Note to Fox News contributors and analysts: the Florida Panhandle IS IN THE CENTRAL TIME ZONE, YOU IDIOTS! It also is the most conservative part of the state.
Well the paper is usually very democrat centered...maybe they know Trump will win..
So Dems are up 400 thousand and change?
Someone here said they needed to be up by about 635,000 to make it extremely unlikely for Trump to win.
So this is good news.
I have no doubt Trump will win Florida. And NC. And Georgia.
And a whole bunch more.
With the news today that Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are all going for Trump has no path to the White House.
I’m early voting Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday which ever I can get to or maybe all four.
I suspect a big Dem push to eliminate early voting starting next year.

Fixed it
I moved from FL 5 years ago. I emailed my super of elections a few weeks ago to confirm they had removed me from the rolls.
Nope. Still on there. Supervoter before I left too.
They took me off the same day I emailed them.
Unfortunately, that means that the back-side of the election... will be a “wave” of Dem votes... and maybe “just enough” to turn the election in that swing state... thanks to late, but included, mail-in ballots.
Requested my absentee ballot from Maryland. My girl and I are going to fill them out and then take them to the polls during early voting.
Any shenanigans at the polls in person then we’ll just drop them off there.
We do want to vote in person but also have a backup plan just in case.
FWIW - I voted today in person (early voting started today). I live in a fairly rural part of my county which is mostly rural w/ some suburban areas...very red county with a couple of purple pockets due to demographics. One of the poll workers said last election they got 40 people a day max, during early voting. At my polling station my wife and I were the 200th and 201st person to vote @ 11:00 a.m.
That should have been “, Biden has no path...”
No, they shot their wad already.
