GOP maintains advantage (Republicans TROUNCING Democrats in early voting)

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

, according to county-by-county totals on the state Division of Elections web site.

As of Friday, 2,037,610 ballots had been counted.

Of that total, 43 percent were cast by Republicans (869,649) and 40 percent by Democrats (808,200). That's a successful formula for Republicans in Florida, a deep purple state with a long history of tight elections and sluggish Democratic turnouts in midterms.

Hopefully, in this case, as Florida goes so goes the nation.

Caravan vs BP on a border-crossing bridge, like Selma:

Someone will die (maybe a shooting, like Kent State), the media will blast it all over the country

It will happen Riiiiight before the election

THEY ARE DESPERATE

I cannot understand how the Democrats can think they will have a blue wave when black voters are showing an improved opinion of Donald Trump and a ‘turn-away’ trend is growing.

Also, I think this article is old, I read somewhere that republicans are 100K ahead in Florida presently.

But are they factoring in the loads of ballots that will be “found” in the trunks of cars after the polls close ?

I was watching Fox News the other day (I live in Spain so my only choices are FNC and CNN International) and they had a pollster on who was discussing Florida’s early voting and he said that it was normal for the GOP to have more early voters but the Dems make up for it with a larger turnout on the actual election day. He considered it to be normal.

“Hopefully, in this case, as Florida goes so goes the nation.”

Watch Volusia early voting returns. Just started Saturday. As Volusia goes, so does Fllrida.

"The democrats are asleep at the wheel watching the newest BS breathless thing on TV, meanwhile lets VOTE!"

Exactly. Yes! In the presence of likely Democrats, elevate entertainment to great importance. In the presence of likely Republicans, imply the possible rewards of voting.

A person CANNOT look at these photos, and somehow not see where the enthusiasm is.

And a lot of people HAVE to keep quiet about their politics, so that silent Trump voter is a real damn thing.
