As Florida prepares for early voting to begin on Monday, vote-by-mail turnout so far indicates a higher ballot return rate for Republicans, though more Democrats have requested absentee ballots.
More than 1 million Floridians had voted by mail as of Friday afternoon, according to the Florida Division of Elections. That’s just shy of a quarter of the roughly 4.2 million voters who asked for ballots to be delivered through the postal service.
Nearly 29% of Republicans who requested to vote-by-mail in the upcoming general election have returned their ballots, compared to about 24% of Democrats, according to data tracked by the state.
While those mail ballot numbers could indicate more enthusiasm among Republicans, it’s still too soon to draw conclusions about overall turnout in the Nov. 8 election, said Michael McDonald, political science professor and voter turnout researcher at the University of Florida.
“It’s a little too early to say with definitiveness that Republicans are more energized, more active in terms of returning their ballots, but it could be,’‘ McDonald said, especially as voting by mail has become a partisan issue following the 2020 election...

Why are ballots for the general election identifiable by party?
Do Floridians register to vote by party,
or do they determine this by which primary they voted in?
i agree absolutely....no one should know any numbers at this point and certainly not what party is retuning the ballot.
Answer:
Otherwise how could the 80% Dem Postal employees be able to destroy the GOP votes and rush the Dem ones to the destinations on time? Simple, really.
Every year there is at least one story “Postal employee arrested for tossing bags of mail into vacant lots to keep up with quota for employment.”

Early votes are meaningless! Its the late votes that matter! You know, the ones that show up after everyone goes to bed on election night and is always 90% democrat.
VOTE AT THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY.
its always pretty noticeable that hevy dem districts come in at the end
Strange that figures are even available, eh?
Republicans should vote on election day.
Don’t let the RATS know how many votes they need to manufacture by voting early.
I thought Florida had more sense than to just allow anyone to vote by mail in ballot. In fact I thought there was a big deal about relaxing those rules for those who were devastated by the hurricane. OK, but according to this article Florida is still just another mail in ballot, early voting vote fraud state. How sad.
The rest of the Republican mail-in ballots are in a dumpster somewhere.
Lazy idiots - after 2020? Get off your lazy behind and go to the polls!
O Rly?
I’ve heard just the opposite.
Sure, there are supposedly ways for you to verify that your mail-in ballot was "received" but what does that mean? How do you know it was properly counted? You just don't. Plus, how many mail-in actually follow through with the verification process? The vast majority just drop them in the mail, go back to their daily routines, and never follow up. This is the kind of behavior that the cheaters count on.
Even though I'm not too worried about Florida, it is bad practice and nothing good can come of mail-in voting unless you are a marxist-Democrat.
Mail-in voters are basically allowing their votes to be thrown away and/or counted as Democrat votes.
Fixed it.
Seriously. Just vote. Vote early. Vote by mail. Vote on Election Day. Just vote.
Personally, I vote as early as possible. You never know what's going to happen between now and Election Day. You might get sick. Car may break down. Personal emergency. And then you're like, "Damn, I should've voted early because I'm just not gonna make it to the polls today. Hope my guy wins without me!"
Not in Florida.
I've voted by mail twice in Florida and always for Republican candidates who won their races in Florida.
You can look up the status of your mail-in ballot to ensure it was counted.
It's stupid to discourage mail-in voting. It costs us countless votes by people who then never turn up to vote at all.
If you're even just a little bit lazy (and you know who you are) just fill out the damn ballot and drop it in the mailbox.
“Why are ballots for the general election identifiable by party?”
My guess is that if you have a certain party affiliation, the assumption is you will vote a straight ticket. I could not get an answer when I asked the people at the voting place. MHO.
I have lived in two states that allowed mail in voting and I never felt my vote was not counted. I disagree with the anti-mail in vote nonsense. That is just another conspiracy theory that does no one any good.
