It is 12:47 PM and so far in my county in North Florida.

57.9% of Republican have voted early, absentee, and in person.

54.8% of Democrats have voted early, absentee, and in prson.

A lot of Democrats in this area are conservative, and haven’t been able to give up the Conservative Democrat label. They usually vote Republican in national elections, so there is optimism that this trend is continuing.

Right across Tampa Bay from Hillsborough. We’re the west coast dangle.

How do you post pictures in a reply? I sniped our counties bar graph, but haven’t been able to post it to the reply box.

Where is Pinellas County?

Its the St. Pete side of the Tampa metro area. Includes Clearwater and Largo. Voter registration R/D is basically split with a good chunk (28%) independent.

It’s the “Other” vote that determines where the county goes, and they are mostly Repub. So, Dem 50 to Rep 48 looks excellent!

It has a real good mix of different ethnicities. Rush just mentioned the R’s were up at this point. I think he said by 8000.

The state level should insist that an outside group hand count the absentee ballots, while comparing the signatures on the ballots to the signatures on file.

Oooops. Is it possible, that they’ve already been opened prior to canvassing, and no one can match the signatures?

State should throw out all absentees that cannot be matched with envelops.

Duval update as of 1:11 p.m.:

REP 157,975
DEM 156,034

These are totals (today and EV). In 2012, as Methos8 points out:

Duval County 2012 turnout - in terms of WHO voted and what party they are registered. Not who they actually voted for:

DEM 179k
REP 166k
OTH 69k

On election day itself it was 63k/63k/31k

Some counties I am following. Data is as of 1:45 PM. This is TOTAL voting - absentee, early and election day.

Pinellas: R+9k (parties were basically even before today)
Duval: R+2.2k (R up 6.4k today)
Hillsborough: D+25.4k (R up about 3.5k today)
Pasco: R+23.5k (almost as many IND as DEMs voting today)
Lee: getting no data from their website
Brevard: R+40.1k

To put some of those numbers in perspective here is 2012

Pinellas: Obama +26k
Duval: Romney +14k (even though more reg DEMs voted)
Hillsborough: Obama +36k
Pasco: Romney +14k
Brevard: Obama +36k

If Trump is winning with indies at all he’s looking decent IMO. I have not looked much at Broward or Miami-Dade because it makes me sick so maybe we’re getting crushed more than usual down there, I have no idea

Go to the below website that contains realtime voter statistics. Then click on "by Party", and make sure to select 'include mail in and early voting'.

Hillborough voting stats

I calculated the numbers by first assuming Trump is leading the unaffiliated by 3%, and just for simplicity all Dems are Hillary, and all Reps are Trump, I multiplied unaffiliated by '.515'. I then add that to the total number of Republican voters, and divided by the total number of votes cast. That should give you a number of around '.479'.

So, with basic conservative assumptions that Trump has 3% advantage in unaffiliated, and total parity in crossover votes, Trump should have 48% of the votes cast in Hillsborough county.

The comparison to 2012 comes from 2012 Florida results

Duval v. Pinellas. Which county’s REPs are turning out better today?:

At the start of the day, DEMs led REPs in each county:

Pinellas 453
Duval 6,151

Now, REPs lead DEMs in each county:

Pinellas 8,995
Duval 2,273

Swing in right direction:

Pinellas 9,448
Duval 8,424

I've done this to a few counties now, you can find the counties in FL by looking for a "www.vote'countyname'"."com or org"

Even splitting unaffiliated evenly, everywhere I looked, it looks like Trump is doing 3 or more percent better than Romney. Considering Obama won Florida by less than a percent, I think it looks VERY good for Trump!

I voted at 11AM in Santa Rosa County in NW Florida, reporting no lines but crowded with voters. Strong Republican county with many Trump signs, not one Hillary sign have I seen.
