Democrats Hold Sizable Lead in Florida Vote-by-Mail Enrollment
Breitbart ^ | June 26 2020 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 06/26/2020 8:31:33 AM PDT by knighthawk

Democrats are holding a sizeable lead in vote-by-mail enrollment in Florida, leading Republicans by over 300,000 voters, according to Division of Election data released last week.

Current data shows Democrats enjoying a sizeable advantage, enrolling 1.46 million Democrats for vote-by-mail. Republicans, meanwhile, have 1.16 million signed up. According to Politico, Democrats “held an advantage of about 8,800 in vote-by-mail enrollment” in 2016. The news could signal trouble for the Trump campaign, which narrowly secured the Sunshine State in the last election, winning by less than 113,000 votes.

Democrats, both nationwide and in Florida, specifically, have been encouraging voters to apply for absentee ballots, citing concerns related to the novel coronavirus. However, Republicans, including the president and Attorney General William Barr, have warned against vote-by-mail on a large scale due to the increased risk of voter fraud.

Dead people and illegal aliens are the Democrats most reliable voting blocks and they prefer to vote by mail. Early and often.

There is already vote by mail and saying there won’t be vote by mail is wishful thinking.

Florida is Democrat if vote-y-mail is a significant portion of the total vote.

Any Floridians know the background of this?

Is this from the lagging effects of having a presidential primary where only Dems are running?

What makes you so sure? A guy in Green Bay asked Trump last night how he was going to stop it and he couldn't really answer the question.

Counties are putting out notices about vote by mail and people are responding. The problem is that some county commissioners are telling them that they don’t have to even mail it, they can just drop them off at the post office to be counted. A vote will only count if it’s postmarked. That’s been the law for decades. They’re counting “registrations” as eligible voters, and they’ll be in for a rude awakening when the lawsuits start flying.

I guess they’re too busy on here posting doom and gloom under the five thousand “Trump is losing” poll threads, while telling others to “wake up” and stop being in “denial”

sound familiar?

It’s higher than in 2016 because of COVID.
Didn’t Florida start allowing 300K felons to vote this time?
What is the number Dems are ahead with mail in ballots? 300K.

hmmm

Of course they do.

That’s the whole point of mail in ballots.

I believe “vote by mail” in FL is absentee ballot. There is accountability and NO MASS MAILING OF BALLOTS.

With or without his “bloody” remains out of the rear of a male prostitute in Miami-— oh yeah— a “leading” demonrat former mayor of Tallahassee and obamaumao- boyfriend.

These are the little criminals who reply to pollsters— if they do, and IF they do they have to be paid to do so.

Florida will NEVER have “mail in” voting. Never. It will have legally carried out Absentee Ballot requests which must be legitimized by signature and mailed receipt by a certain cut off date which is NOT 5 days after the official election. NO— it is before the election.
