Through Sunday, it appears absentee and early votes have Democrats up by 80,287 votes.
Of the 1,010,046 people who voted early, 53.7 percent were Democrats, 30.19 percent Republicans and 16.02 percent other. Of the 1,059,518 absentee ballots returned so far, 35.31 percent were from Democrats, 50.23 percent Republicans, and 14.46 percent other.
All told, 2,069,564 people have voted already -- 44.33 percent of them Democrats, 40.45 percent Republicans, and 15.22 percent other.
by the early voting alone, its 4-5% registered difference, yet pollsters like to weight their polls with insane 7-12% more registered democrats
If it’s not illegal it surely must be counter to the spirit of the law. Releasing these tallies affects the ultimate outcome.
In Zogby poll 15% of Democrats are voting Mccain. The highest of any state polled. Thus, McCain should be ahead...For record McCain will win Florida.

The Duval County Supervisor of Elections shows far more registered Dems and Republicans. However, Bush crushed Kerry in 04 and McCain will crush That One too.
????? Did you just wake up from a coma? :-D Where would we be without all the handwringers and Chicken Littles on FR?
Yeah, but that was regular voting. This is early voting, which went to Kerry in FL to, and tends to favor Democrats because they don’t have jobs.
Exactly...there are four groups of Democrats to consider here...PUMAs, 'Operation Chaos' trojans, Reagan Democrats, and other Democrats opposed to BO...I suspect most of those independents aren't BO supporters, either. We'll see...
I’m familiar with that, thanks.
I wonder how many of these “Democrats” are operation chaos people who changed their registration to keep Obama in the game?
Why is this out in the open now?????
Is this legal to start counting votes before Nov 4???? what is this???
Not votes, just party ID of the voters. Not to worry, Florida is going McCain.
Well, it was overall voting. But it’s all I had. Someone else (you probably saw, or maybe it was you?) already found a reference with Kerry leading in early voting. I was just curious what the final turnout percentages by party were.
“In Zogby poll 15% of Democrats are voting Mccain. The highest of any state polled. Thus, McCain should be ahead...For record McCain will win Florida.”
This is true, because of so many of the early voters- 53% Dems 30% Reps and 16% Other,which works out to a 3.87% lead..so far...That lead will not hold...Fla is a red state-somewhere between tan and sunburn..
Convenience.
We usually go to the polls on election day, but this year I know I have to travel that day so we voted early (this last Saturday).
in the early voting? i'm pretty sure that's what the poster was asking about...
Why are you assuming that all democrats are voting for Jeremiah Wright apprentice?

I am not. I just posted an article. I have little doubt McCain is up slightly now and will be up more on election day.
Then why in the hell did you post (O +3.88%) ?
Not tallying votes. Just counting sealed envelops.
That headline is misleading, if not flat out wrong.
How can anyone know 0bama is +3.88%? I really don’t believe every single dem is voting for the 0. Also, what about the independents?
I think the jewish vote in Broward county will help McCain.
Then why the title that says that Obama is up 80K votes? A rather misleading title.
