Rs just went ahead in Duval, FL
REPs are showing up today!
About 25-29% of the Hispanic “Surge”, in FL, is voting for Trump.....the question is what % of the AA and White vote is voting for “Her”?
“As expected, Election Day turnout slightly more GOP than early vote (at least in Broward Co., FL)”
Broward
Absentee - 24.7% were REP
In-Person Early Voting - 20.0% were REP
Election Day - 29.0% are REP.
Yes, using the article is certainly more efficient.
However, contract language often sacrifices efficiency to avoid ambiguity.
When defining ranges, the issue of inclusiveness is often subject to interpretation in spoken language, and requires reinforcement in contract language, to avoid ambiguities, fence post errors and other misunderstandings.
I’m often confused by the fact that the minute called 12pm immediately follows the minute called 11:59am, yet I think of both minutes as being part of the same hour. Even if I learn to strictly adhere to the convention, I still may have reason to doubt that others will, so I need to ask for a clarification.
Similarly, if I’m out with a friend Saturday night a little past midnight and they say “let’s meet for breakfast tomorrow morning”, I could probably safely assume they meant later THIS morning, but technically, since it’s already Sunday morning, “tomorrow morning” would be Monday morning.
The most language efficient thing to do would be to make an assumption, but, Hell no! I’m going to ask for a clarification every time!
You guys are making me laugh. Relieves the Election Day stress.
Have to say, was flying back from Hawaii one time and missed my flight.
I searched for airline tickets for a certain day and found a good price on a flight that was just after midnight. Missed my return flight because I was thinking the flight was after midnight on Day X when it was after midnight on Day X-1.
Don’t know if I explained that well, but true story.
You saw the Frank Luntz tweet?
“BREAKING: Watch Michigan.
Working-class turnout is looking much higher than expected. Trump may actually have a chance. #ElectionDay”
NEWS FLASH!
In 2012, Obama won Hillsborough County, FL by 6%. So far
today, Reps lead Dems there by 4% - a 10% shift!
But REPs lead DEMs today by 4%.
The 6% Obama win, of course, included early votes and election day votes. So, not an apples to apples comparison.
Pinellas now stretching out to a 9,000 GOP advantage. If I remember correctly from 2012, we had a much smaller advantage.
more microdata: GOP Collier County, FL - 87% of registered GOP voters have cast ballots as of 2:00 pm EST. GOP should push past 90% of their registered voters easily in the next 5 hours.
Watching the Florida early vote over several weeks, it was apparent that REPs were doing much better than 2012. Went from a 74,000 Obama win to a 130,000 Trump win.
An improvement of 200k. Way to go Florida!
According to exit polls, the electorate in Florida was D - 32, R - 33, I - 35.
R +1. Take that pollsters!
I predicted Trump takes Florida by 230,000. Actual was 130,000. Not too bad.
