Totals for Florida early vote.
Absentee Ballot (VBM) - REPs lead by 66,710
In-Person Early Voting - DEMs lead by 3,173
Combined Early voting - REPs lead by 63,537
At this same time last year: REPs lead of 11,886
The REP lead has ranged from 53K to 75K over the past week.
Numbers represent ballots cast by party registration.
Ballots have not been counted yet.
I voted Monday, but I'm registered as an independent - I thought it would cut down on the robo-calls (NOT!).
We are seeing a TON of campaign literature in the mail. All of it is Repub - not one piece for any Dem or liberal-supported amendments...
LOL.
Who knew the little black bastard has those hidden talents.
Hmm...no conflict there with “separation of church and state”. Wonder if the sermon is a GOTV rally?
white churches should do this, many black churches are nothing more than social justice, or black liberation theology indoctrination/training camps. sad!
Well I suspect l was drawing on my memory of your post and with a Black running for Governor, the souls to the polls could net the Rats close to
46,000. My point was don’t get deflated if it happens. We still look pretty good.
Re: Palm Beach, it looks like just their VBM is not updated. My fault.
Ha last night on the local news comedy show they had Gillum up 9 points.
What a joke.
Wish I shared your confidence with five days to go
Not in TX where Democrat and Beto mail abounds
Remember, Floridians...all, the Fort Myers rally (10,000 people attended) will be followed by another Florida Trump MEGA Rally being held this coming weekend In Pensacola, Florida!!! Go Trump, Go, Rick Scott, Go, Ron DeSantis
Great numbers. Great work. Thanks.
Has anyone prepared a FR worthy list of recommendations for FL voters? Scott and DeSantis are a given, but Amendments?
Here’s hoping the “blue wave” turns into a yellow trickle when the RAT party pees themselves on election night.
Thanks for the 'good news' ping.
Thanks Speedy
The 11/1 results through 12:30pm ET are more of the same. Basically a push. Although we oddly gained (versus the Dems) almost a thousand votes in EV in Hillsborough today.
Every day the VBM margin stays above 55,000-60,000 is a victory. Assume that should start to slow down.
In the next 24 hours or so we will likely cross 4 million total votes cast, versus 3.2 million for all of 2014.
White churches could do the same.
“more of the same” is Winning...
This does “feel” better than 2016. Having said that, I have a few concerns in no particular order.
1) Are there any significant crossover support for Dems from Reps? Doubtful I presume.
2) I think it was you Methos8 who mentioned the Indies generally break the way their counties do - that makes sense. Do we have any empiric evidence of this? This does generally make sense.
3) My main “real” remaining concern regards cannibalization - how much is truly occurring (that I don’t know) but I imagine that works for both parties.
4) On this day in 2016 is when our lead evaporated - to be ahead tomorrow by about the same amount as we are today is quite an accomplishment. This wouldn’t be a concern of course just an appreciation of how far we’ve come in two years.

“Ron DeSantis just said on Rush that a far lower percentage of GOP early voters have been “supervoters” (people who would have voted anyway) than among the Dems. A far higher % of GOP early voters are new voters—likely Trump voters who don’t usually vote in midterms.”
