It's the GOP's Turn: Florida’s early voting awash in conservative wave
Tampa Bay Times ^ | October 19, 2020 | David Smiley and Karina Elwood

Posted on 10/19/2020 5:16:11 PM PDT by Rumierules

A record-breaking surge of mail-voting Democrats in Florida has handed Joe Biden a massive lead over President Donald Trump in his must-win home state.

But here come the Republicans.

The start of in-person voting Monday is expected to trigger a conservative wave that will build over the next two weeks and crest on Election Day. Around two-thirds of participating Florida GOP voters are likely to cast a ballot in person this fall, raising the question of whether Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, will be able to hold off a Trump comeback by the time the polls close at 7 p.m. on Nov. 3.

I wanted to believe this bogus headline, but they got the tense wrong. It should read:

Florida’s early voting will be awash in a conservative wave once it starts next week, if our guess is correct

Biden has his voters afraid to vote in person.

The YUGE MISTAKE the LIEberals are making is that the Democrat voters are voting for Biden.

I am led to believe that roughly 20% of the attendees at President Trump’s Rallies are Democrats.

I wonder if there is any way to verify if the Democrats are REALLY voting Democrat before Nov 3?

"... whether Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, will be able to hold off a Trump comeback by the time the polls close at 7 p.m. on Nov. 3."

Meaning...if Joe is ahead at 7PM, Nov. 3rd, it's over. But if Joe is behind at 7PM, Nov. 3rd, well...the counting has only just begun.

I was working the early voting polling place in my democrat majority county today. Most who voted were 55+. I’d bet my next check that Trump was killing it. Democrats, sure but Legacy Democrats who don’t vote for corrupt communists.

This is a good duplicate thread!

Earlier one was posted 5 hours before this one!

Besides, two threads is a good thing!

There’s a reason the Dems are pushing vote-by-mail so hard, other than the ease of cheating. With Biden as their candidate their voters have little motivation to leave the house!

You know, 4.5 hours is close enough to 5 hours.

Bugs me that certain FReeper jerks take great pleasure in pointing out that a thread has already been posted.

People see the second thread that may not have seen the first one!

Waste of time time to post “search works” threads. Have you got nothing else to do?

“Waste of time time to post “search works” threads. “

My bad. Next time I will use the words the moderators use when they lock threads

“Search Still Works”

Besides, it is my time to waste.

If this bugs you, you need to reflect on your priorities.
