For those of you interested in early voting numbers, specifically in the State of Florida.
Here is the URL to the official early voting numbers released by the State of Florida, the numbers are updated daily.
Counties are supposed to send updated numbers to the state by 8am daily with the numbers reflected in the statewide numbers at 3pm and 6pm daily.
Some counties are reporting Zero numbers because all counties in Florida do not start early voting on the same day, especially in smaller rural counties.
Don't get confused by the number of ballots sent out versus those ballots actually received and those who have shown up at the polls to cast a ballot, which I did yesterday.
You have 3 tabs on the page.
Vote by Mail - Not Returned Yet Voted vote by Mail Voted early
In addition, here are the links for similar numbers in the last 2 presidential elections.
In 2020, Republicans for the first time I can remember outnumbered Democrats in early voting, Republicans added nearly 500,000 votes to early voting totals in 4 years. Given the current numbers are a running total, it will be interesting to track the numbers of the next 10 days or so before the election.

I just found this link to all early voting states.

We don’t do early voting in Alabama.
I am thinking of throwing together a spreadsheet for early voting numbers.
Originally, I was only going to concentrate on Florida, I might do all the swing states to see what trends if any show up.
Rs are ahead in NC now as well
Early voting should be illegal.
Florida has probably the most secure voting in the US. We will have total results by 9:00 pm election day.
Texas - specifically Bexar County where I live - is seeing huge early voting numbers. The Colonel’s Wife and I were in line for 1:20 yesterday.
I think Pennsylvania is going to fool us again. I pray not. Trump NEEDS either Penn, WI OR MI and as long as he holds states he has now he wins.
2020 was D+1. For 2024 so far, it’s R+7. While the early vote could cannibalize election day voting, it’s a good start. It’s usually the stragglers who vote early.

Well, it isn't. So you might as well take advantage of it and let Trump turn out the low-propensity voters on Election Day.
No, it's not. It's the people who are extremely politically engaged who vote early.
The stragglers are the people Trump needs to turn out on Election Day.
I agree. No one in our country cannot get to a polling place or vote by absentee ballot, not mail in ballots, on one day? I guarantee if anyone said you did not get your EBT card restocked by calling in on a specific date, they would not get done on time, at least for those which are legitimate.
That was my position for a while—but I am changing my mind.
The reason is that the messed up voting system in some states—machines not working or other garbage-means that election day can become a mess.
If voters can come back another day when everything is working properly that is a good thing.
We have to deal with the world as it is—not as we would like it to be.
Most analysts are interpreting early voting as a measure of enthusiasm by the parties.
It is probably correct—and maybe important—or it may not mean much at all.
We will know soon enough.
“Most analysts are interpreting early voting as a measure of enthusiasm by the parties.”
A couple of post up remarked the early voting is R+7. If that enthusiasm holds Trump will 380 EV’s, or more!
You have a point. Early voting is a barometer for who is in the lead and factors in as to how much cheating is required to flip the election.
Absentee Ballots should be illegal not early voting.
>> We don’t do early voting in Alabama.
That’s to your credit.
My hope is that some idiot has old Biden ballots ready for the cheating—and then Biden gets a million or more votes on election day.
Just because they are evil does not mean they are smart.
>> So you might as well take advantage of [early voting]
... so my precious ballot can lay around for two weeks in some box, somewhere, maybe locked (or not), maybe supervised (or not), with a chain of custody (or not)? Subject to gaming (like the stupid “target smart” analysis) so the DemonRats know how many UOCAVA ballots to fabricate? Or better yet my precious vote is an electronic entry in some cheating Dominion machine accessible from anywhere in the world, mutable at the whim of Dark Kamala’s evil borg?
F___ the sloppy dicked-up mess that our elections have become. I have weighed the “advice” from people like you and I’m voting ON election day.
