TALLAHASSEE — More than 2 million Florida voters have cast ballots and Republicans maintain a solid advantage over Democrats in turnout.

The blue wave remains mostly a mirage. More Republicans are "bringing it home" so far, in the words of Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Gillum.

Typically, the GOP has led from the start in mail ballots, and it edged ahead of the Democrats in early voting Thursday for the first time as several more GOP counties began early voting

Indeed and of course Trish Becker does not mention her ties to Linda Mansour, womens march, or her communist views. All she states is how she wants to control mosquito’s in the county which is all B/S

Bad. Rats will find or make those votes. I always dislike publish votes before election

Go Florida! Especially NW Florida, my beloved former stomping grounds. I would imagine they are light so far, understandably so after the hurricane, but they’re gonna show up too eventually, and it will be beautiful!

Democrats normally lead in early voting because it is easier to cheat.

Not going to happen. I have worked on many campaigns. Trump is pulling out the irregular Republican voters, e.g., blue collar, working class, downscale whites. The older, traditional Republican base always shows up to vote, whether they are excited or not, out of a sense of civic duty.

I wish this was not being reported. Too many in the GOP will read or hear about it and get lazy on election day, thinking they need not bother as they already have a 100K advantage.

Always play as if you were behind and losing. This is no different in politics.

This had to kill the liberal Tampa Times (Washington Post) to print.

LOL. If the Dems trail in early voting before Election Day, they are toast. Early voting is when they commit voter fraud. They move operatives around voting in various locations using voter rolls. The Dems created early voting to win elections. The more time they have, the greater the mischief.

Of course all votes are equal, but if we can match the Democrats in early voting, it is likely we will win on Nov.6th as well.

As if the inside officials don't know them.

If someone is going to mess with the votes, they have access to the totals so publishing them means little.

This plan makes no sense. You can’t convince all Dems everywhere to do that. I think we are in a good place right now. As long as our GOTV operation is good on election day, we can actually keep the House, which I thought before Kavanaugh was DEFINITELY lost to the Dems.

I was kidding. Poorly constructed joke. I followed the early votes in the battleground states in 2016 and these early vote totals are beyond my wildest dreams. Fingers crossed, but we are doing incredible.
