Registered Dems in FL routinely vote in a high proportion for Republicans. But Dems are hoping for an advantage this election because of the number of vote-by-mail requests from ‘Hispanic areas’.
There is also the misleading use of the term ‘absentee ballots’, which has morphed this year in FL to ‘vote by mail’.

I’d say nothing conclusive can be drawn from these numbers. They’re fodder for wishful thinking.
Actually, the Sec State very clear in separating absentee requests from returns from “early vote in person.” Just go to the site.
Agree & Disagree with your comments.
Republicans want to increase their absentee ballot lead (yes, vote-by-mail) to offset the traditional Democratic lead in in-person early voting.
While no conclusive evidence exists in the data to say who will win Florida, it is definitely better to be ahead in absentee ballots!
