TALLAHASSEE — More than 2 million Florida voters have cast ballots and Republicans maintain a solid advantage over Democrats in turnout.

The blue wave remains mostly a mirage. More Republicans are "bringing it home" so far, in the words of Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Gillum.

Typically, the GOP has led from the start in mail ballots, and it edged ahead of the Democrats in early voting Thursday for the first time as several more GOP counties began early voting

Seriously? Dems are too freaking lazy. If it doesn’t show up in their mailbox, the ones that are being prodded to vote won’t find time to vote in person.

The millennials don’t even know how to buy a stamp! You think they’re gonna be able to even find their precinct?

But thanks for that opinion, downer Dave

I was making a bad joke. It’s my fault on that trying to be sarcastic. I agree 100% they are lazy and this is great news with the early voting totals.

😉 And I bring my teenagers with me to point out any blatant political bias I might see and to show them how to vote.

Looking at the link I think you are right. 74,000 is still good, but we have souls to the polls on Sunday for democrats and many blacks will support this thug.

Look at the bright side. The Panhandle hasn’t voted yet.

And may the Lord comfort all of them, democrats too.

they are all going to vote on Election Day
***********
And they will then call for an extension of voting hours and in some places, days. This all because of some made up hindrance to their not voting during the early voting period, or on election day. It happens every election in Broward, Miami/Dade, Palm Beach, and other Dem dominated districts.

I’m waiting for the Dems next appeal that absentee votes be accepted for ballots with signatures that don’t match the signature on record. If you think that’s impossible it happened in 2016. Then they will try to block absentee ballots sent from the military.

It’s the dance they do every two years.

“I’m waiting for the Dems next appeal that absentee votes be accepted for ballots with signatures that don’t match the signature on record.”

ACLU filed a suit 11 days ago challenging Georgia’s rejection of absentee ballots where the signature doesn’t match.
