DAY 15: REPUBLICANS HAVE FIGURED OUT EARLY VOTING, AND DEMOCRATS NEED WEEKEND MIRACLE.
The Florida Squeeze ^ | 10/27/18 | David Trotter

Posted on 10/27/2018 5:14:00 PM PDT by gasport

Bronough Street, we have a problem.

That problem for Democrats is that Republicans have figured out early voting. The one “ace up the sleeve” for Democrats in Florida has been offset by an aggressive early voting campaign by Republicans. In fact, 7,152 more Republicans have voted early compared to Democrats. When Democrats make small gains in Broward, Miami-Dade, Hillsborough and, yes, Duval Counties, Republicans are making significantly larger early vote gains in Sarasota, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and almost every other Republican-leaning county in the state. Remember when I said at the beginning of the election that the Florida Panhandle was close? Not anymore! Escambia is still interesting, but Okaloosa and Santa Rosa Counties are on track to perform better for DeSantis than they did for Trump in 2016.

I hope someone trustworthy (i.e., not a Demonicrat) is guarding the ballot boxes, electronic ballot storage units, and the voter registration roles.

I don't think we have early voting here, apart from, "vote before you go to work".

remember the articles about Uber and Lyft offering free or discounted rides to voters in underserved communities...

well Republican voters need to ensure they get all like-minded family and friends to the polls, one way or another.

If I was a Uber/Lyft driver, and I knew that I would be getting a lot of calls for subsidized rides from "underserved community" areas, I might decide to take the day off...

I’d like to see something on hurricane impact on panhandle voting. Tallahassee area is democrat, but western panhandle is GOP.

Ballots in DWS’ last primary were illegally destroyed to prevent a recount, and no one has been held to account for it.

My wife and I have our mail-in ballots filled out. I will deliver them in person close to the deadline so the ‘RATs won’t have an accurate estimate of how many votes they need to generate.

Exactly. Thats what early voting is all about. “How many stacks of premarked ballots do we need to prepare? Make sure you store them in the trunk of your car so they can be ‘found’ after the polls close!”

EV in person - VBM is to be avoided.

Even better than 2016!

Dem buses will be working overtime going to polling places and back and forth to cemetery after cemetery.
They sort of know the corpse count they need and I never saw a limit on the number of votes a dead person could have.

I suspect the drive to get people out to the polls will ultimately work to the advantage of the GOP.

I would not be surprised to learn PDJT has set a trap.

In the 2012 election, 10 Colorado counties had more ballots cast than registered voters. My county was one and had 104% turnout rate.
