Voting tomorrow…Wear red for Trump…
Early voting starts in Texas today, as well.
I’ll let you know because I plan to early vote later today. BTW, I am also making sure my wife and a couple of in-laws who usually don’t vote also vote today. They are for Trump but need my prodding to vote.
My understanding is that in-person early voting in Florida does not begin until October 29.
The big story from early voting (by mail) in Florida is the absolutely huge spike in voting by first-time “unaffiliated” voters. According to the website Election Smith, these first-time voters (or voters who haven’t voted since 2008) are disproportionately older, white men.
I plan to vote at lunchtime today.
Going shortly will report
Thanks for posting. Will look forward to reports from those who voted today. Trump has 2 rallies in FL today (after the one in Naples last night):
St. Augustine, FL @ 3pm and Tampa, FL @ 7pm ET.
Here’s the rally thread:

First of all I did NOT vote. Actually, as you shall see, this is GOOD news. The reason why I did NOT vote is that the line was BY FAR the largest I have ever seen it for early voting at this location. It was so large that it went thru the library and snaked out almost to the back door. I estimated the wait time to be around 2 hours. Maybe longer.
I have early voted at this same location several times before and the lines were NEVER close to being this long. In off year elections, the wait time is always zero to less than 5 minutes. In presidential elections, always less than 15 to 20 minutes. I didn't feel like waiting a couple of hours on that looooooong line especially since I didn't bring my cellphone headphones to listen to internet radio while waiting.
An elections official told me there were few people in the line when it opened at 7 A.M. and for about the first half hour so tomorrow I will be there at 7 to vote.
The GOOD NEWS is that any first time voting millennial who is sort of for Hillary will be bummed out waiting for over an hour on that looooooong line. I actually didn't spot anybody on that line that would even fit into that age group. Imagine the shock of a first time voter millennial seeing that line and realizing he/she would have to invest a couple hours waiting.
Well, tomorrow I will be there right at opening time at 7 AM to vote. But just in case, I will be bringing my headphones.

Just voted for the man here in Jacksonville. No lines, just one person in front of me. Mostly white. I was in and out. There’s about 18 early voting locations throughout Jacksonville. Jax is fairly conservative but dems have been growing in numbers here.
I just got back from voting. It was a fairly large crowd, but the wait went pretty quickly. Probably about 20 minutes.
