In the Battle for Florida, It Looks Like Democrats are Heading for a Bloodbath

Cortney wrote this up today. The Biden camp is sure sounding…not very confident all of a sudden. They say they can win this election without Florida and Pennsylvania. They must be smoking whatever Hunter Biden is using because that doesn’t appear to be the case. Trump is doing well in the core three—North Carolina, Arizona, and Florida—which just leaves one Rust Belt state in order for the president to secure a second term. And in Florida, things are looking pretty bad for Democrats.

There are no new Democratic voters or young people showing up at the polls thus far, and Republicans are showing up in force. In Pinellas County, which is key to offset the Democratic gains in neighboring Hillsborough, GOP voters are showing up by a three-to-one ratio.

FL Rs +99,022 Trump won in 2016 by just 113,000

This will get ugly. — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

FL has just now reached 100% of total 2016 turnout.

The new voters ain't Ds. They sure ain't students. — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

FL update: https://t.co/eOSAqovFfK — PollWatch (@PollWatch2020) November 3, 2020

FL: Rs up 35,000 now. Palm Beach election day, Rs up 17.4 points. Gadsden: Ds down by more than 4 points from 2016. — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

Broward Election Day Ds up only 2,200

No, not a typo — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

From "Freeper" bort on Sarasota Rs: 7.1K (60%) Ds: 1.7K (15%) All votes (early + election day): 44%(R) vs. 34%(D)

So much for Biteme winning seniors — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

Rs ahead on election day votes in Palm Beach by almost 9,000; up in Pinellas on election day by 22 points. — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

Pinellas coming out of the gate hard, nearly 3:1 for Trump. Went for Zero in 2012. — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

D lead in FL vanishing like Cankles' emails. Was 108,000.

Now? 24,000 — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

Early FL: Rs up solid in Alachua — Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) November 3, 2020

Republicans already outvoting Dems 2.5 to 1 in Pinellas today after being slightly outvoted by them in the early voting period. https://t.co/EfqxMvfoFm — Patrick Ruffini (@PatrickRuffini) November 3, 2020

Florida is the barometer for the election. Trump won FL by 1.2% last time. If he is over that today that is a good sign. So far it looks positive. — PollWatch (@PollWatch2020) November 3, 2020

For people who don't know Florida, which is pretty much everyone in the pundit class who pretends that they do, the R advantage gets heavier as the day goes on.

Think this is heavy now, just wait. — Peoples_Pundit (@Peoples_Pundit) November 3, 2020

Within hours this morning, the Democrats’ early voter advantage was wiped out. As Larry Schweikart noted, “this will get uglyHold onto those four words, folks. Florida has also been a pretty good gauge on how Pennsylvania and Michigan have gone since 1968.

Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon: "We continue to have multiple pathways to 270 electoral votes" says they can win 270 even without PA and FL — Charlotte Alter (@CharlotteAlter) November 3, 2020

In Biden campaign briefing, advisor Bob Bauer notes that so far polls are up and running without major delays, and that very few ballots have been rejected (FL: 0.3%, WI: 0.1%, NC: 0/6%)

Says R predictions of mass election day chaos and fraud have not occurred — Charlotte Alter (@CharlotteAlter) November 3, 2020

Bauer on election lawsuits:

"the courts recognize these last-minute hijinx for what it is... they're designed to generate the appearance of a cloud over the election, they are not in fact bonafide legal claims against voters." — Charlotte Alter (@CharlotteAlter) November 3, 2020

Jen O'Malley Dillon: "We come into election day in our battleground states ahead by eight points. Obviously each state is different... Florida is a coin toss without a doubt." — Charlotte Alter (@CharlotteAlter) November 3, 2020

There are still hours left...a lot of people can show up to further accelerate this, or completely wash it out in that time.

GOTV.

And the panhandle must keep voting even if the networks falsely claim the polls are “closed” like they did in 2000 and almost successfully stole it.

Sounds like they are backpedaling on their dreams of a big victory. if they start talking how they can still win even if certain states they counted on don’t come through, you know something is up with their internal polls. ‘

I always think it’s funny, we have all the publicly released polls, all of which show Biden well ahead, but then, there are private polls the political operatives use, which are generally more accurate.

But how can that be if the publicly released polls are theoretically supposed to be an accurate reflection of opinion?

Those are among life’s mysteries.

Thanks for the ping bruh.

I personally think Trump will SMASH FL by the end of the day, but "it ain't ova-til-it's-ova," so still holding onto my nads.

Its up to a 185,000 vote edge with 2 1/2 hours to go. (3 1/2 in the Panhandle). 250,000 seems doable but 300,000 not likely.

Check out CNN.

Put it on mute.

Wolf, Cuomo and the others look like they are about to have a nervous breakdown.

They _know_.
