These numbers are probably very helpful if you need to “find ballot boxes” a day or two after the polls close.
Democrats are good at making Republican votes disappear and Democrat votes miraculously appear.. especially after the election.
“Muh blue wave”
Republicans bested Democrats by about 45,000 votes, this year, 2018, which is unusual, because Democrats usually prefer to exercise heavy early and mail-in voting. In the 2016 POTUS election Democrats out voted Republicans in the early voting by 70,000 votes. Of course, Republican, Trump carried Florida with a 100,000 vote victory margin.
Of course....the final vote tallies from the real election day, today, are made up from Democrats, Republicans, Others and Unaffiliated voters, who cannot vote in Republican & Democrat Primaries in Florida.
Tonight’s voting results should be interesting and might show the trend of either a blue or red political wave, upcoming in the Mid-Term Election.
IMHO...I believe the Republicans will have a good night tonight, fielding a very tough Rick Scott & Ron DeSantis for Senator & Governor. If both win their primaries, they will become Senator and Governor on Election day, November 6, 2018. I also believe our Republican, Congressman, the talented, gifted, Brian Mast will prevail this evening and the general election in November.
All Florida eligible voters should turn out today and vote for Governor, Rick Scott, Congressman, Ron DeSantis & Congressman, Brian Mast for Senator, Governor & Congressman. All three have been endorsed by POTUS, Trump. Go, Trump, Go, Scott, Go, Desantis, Go, Mast, Go, MAGA. Folks....GET OUT & VOTE, Republican TODAY!!!
“””However, in 2014, there were only three statewide primaries as Gov. Rick Scott, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and former Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, all Republicans, sought re-election.
Two of the statewide primaries were Democratic races for governor and attorney general. Meanwhile, Scott had two primary challengers who combined to receive less than 13 percent of the vote.”””
The fact that the Governor, Attorney General, and Agriculture Commissioner races in 2018 are highly contested by both Republicans and Democrats probably accounts for the large increase in early voting compared to 2014.
Hopefully, the turnout will also be high today.
Early voting is a sham. Created to steal elections.
GOP turned out about 114,000 more than Ds.
Ds led by DinoBernie nominated a crazed socialist under investigation by the FBI. Can you say George McGovern?
Amazing how Ds are turning out “record” numbers and yet losing all these races.
