Important fact: Rep leaning counties were not open Sunday for voting, but Dem leaning counties were - so I have heard.
Absolute correctly. Should have mentioned that!
Yesterday only 16 counties (Bay, Bradford, Broward, Charlotte, Duval, Hillsborough, Leon, Miami-Dade, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Polk, Seminole, St. Lucie and Suwannee) out of 67 counties had early voting.
5 were REP and 11 were DEM.
The 5 REP were mainly smaller counties while all the big DEM counties were open for 12 long hours.
Hillsborough county was open yesterday and had their best day of turnout for early voting, and it was not really close. Not sure you can read into that too much either way.
All the stats from early voting turnout for the Tampa area can be found here: http://www.votehillsborough.org/
Yes pretty much only Dem counties open yesterday. Even though yesterday’s results were not great, the whole two week period of early voting and vote-by-mail voting has been beneficial to Trump’s chances in FL. I think he will win also tomorrow. 6.4 million voters have cast ballots. If turnout is 75% then another 3.2 million votes will be cast Tuesday. If turnout bumps to 80% turnout (entirely possible), then you’re looking at another 3.8 to 3.9 million votes on Tuesday. Gonna be a wild ride.
