Florida Early Vote (10/29 6PM Update): Democrat lead down to 164k. Republicans up 40k+ today
Joe is Done ^

Posted on 10/29/2020 3:06:20 PM PDT by springwater13

Today is a bit slower than yesterday. I would prefer to see us under 150k and on pace for 50k per day, but not bad. There were also some reporting issues with Polk County and early poll closings in the Panhandle shortening hours because of the hurricane. So we'll see.

All in all, Trump is still in strong position. Democrats had a 96k vote lead in 2016 Early Voting and Trump is now within 70k of that number with 3 more days of early voting left.

On a positive note, we are rapidly closing the gap in the former weak areas in Duval, Orange, and Sarasota county. All these areas were 10%+ Democrat advantage and that has been cut in half. R's are waking up. We need more of them going to the polls especially in the Jacksonville and Orlando metros. Those are the weak links right now for Trump.

If you are in Florida, take nothing to chance, and VOTE EARLY!

Wonderful news. The trend is our friend.

And even if the final number ends up the same as 2016, the fact that an enormous number of D’s voting by mail was offset by an equally enormous number of R’s voting in person is a huge enthusiasm gap, and bodes very well for who will turn out in person on election day.

Vector going the right way BUT don’t buy the myth the left is unmotivated or apathetic. Their election turnout is unprecedented.

With Independents comprising 30% of the vote, I wouldn't presume they lean Democrat in the Presidential race.

THAT is the great unknown in this election.

What I want to know is what’s going on in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. That region is where it will all be settled.

The reason you can’t “know” is because except for PA these states do not register by party, and thus you do not know if you are getting back an R ballot or a D ballot.

That’s another thing; We’ve only been counting R & D ballots. This says nothing about Ds voting Trump, of whom I’d bet there are five times as many as Rs voting Biteme.

Is it? What data are affirms that statement? Total early ballots cast? I don’t see any data that makes me believe that Democrats are voting in record numbers.

Duval went from light blue to light pink, today. Madison and Liberty are even.

Yes. Do we have numbers for cross voting from 2016?

voting in record numbers

Those claims are always made by people who know absolutely nothing about American politics.

Quiz.

What presidential election had the highest percentage of eligible voters turn out and vote?

1876!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_States_presidential_elections

What election had the highest turnout since 2000?

2008.

Which election had the highest turnout since World War II?

1960

Facts are our FRiends--and "high turnout" is a dead giveaway that the speaker does not understand American politics.

Their election turnout may be unprecedented but that’ doesn’t mean they all voted for Biden!

I’m not happy that the Dims have a lead at all.

Spicer just painted a dire electoral map for Trump. I’m going with my gut like I did in 2016. My poll is the rally turnout on the ground.
