If vote-by-mail matters in 2020, the Florida Democratic Party is increasingly confident in its position.
The state party touts garnering 1 million registrations or renewals for the voting method, they announced Monday.
The FDP claims a 423,379 voter edge over the Republican Party of Florida, a potentially meaningful metric in the light of an uncertain health environment this November.
That advantage has grown. Just two weeks ago, the Democratic lead was just 300,000. And in 2016, only 8,800 more Democrats than Republicans had active requests for mail ballots.
“In an election that will be decided on the margins, the Florida Democratic Party is committed to making sure every single voter in Florida is able to vote safely and securely this November,” FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo said.
“Our team has been working tirelessly to organize thousands of volunteers to do the important work of enrolling their friends and neighbors into vote-by-mail. We are thrilled by the incredible energy we are seeing on the ground and today we are proud to announce that one million more Democrats have enrolled in vote-by-mail to elect Joe Biden this November!”
Democrats’ efforts are being augmented by left-leaning groups outside the party itself. A George Soros-linked group is spending $59 million in six states to push vote-by-mail.
For his part, President Donald Trump, despite voting by mail himself, has contended the process is linked to election fraud.
Republicans, as we have reported previously, have benefited from vote by mail, which helped ensure the winning margin in the 2000 Presidential election.
Joe Gruters, the chair of the Republican Party of Florida, noted this spring “the RPOF continues to encourage voters to vote by mail through our paid and volunteer efforts.”
Though the RPOF doesn’t want an “all vote-by-mail election,” Gruters noted that “the Florida GOP will push VBM requests and returns among Republicans” as is typical.
For now at least, the FDP appears to be pushing harder.

How do you like Democrat Socialism? just like the third world isn’t it. Democrat Governor’s & Mayors ordering Police to stand down while the city is looted, burned. citizens beaten in the streets, monuments destroyed, police stations actually taken over and allowed to be occupied. Antifa and BLM are the criminals behind this.
Below are those in sympathy with Antifa and BLM. All are Democrats who ordered Police in their cities to stand down allowing the destruction.
Tom Wolf (Gov PA), Jim Kenney (Mayor Philadelphia), JB Pritzker (Gov Il), Lori Lightfoot (Mayor Chicago), Gavin Newsom (Gov CA) Kate Brown (Gov OR), Ted Wheeler (Mayor Portland OR), Jay Inslee (Gov WA), Jenny Durkan (Mayor Seattle), Andrew Cuomo (Gov NY), Bill Di Blasio, (Mayor NY) Tim Walz (Gov MN) Jacob Frey (Mayor MN), Lyda Krewson (Mayor St. Louis), Gretchen Whitmer (Gov MI), Mike Duggan (Mayor Detroit) , Keisha Bottoms (Mayor Atlanta GA) Bernard Young (Mayor Baltimore MD)
There is no moderate wing of the Democrat party people and they really don’t care about taxpayers except for their vote. If you vote for Joe Biden, you are voting for Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren’s far left platform.. Joe will follow the radical left’s agenda or Joe won’t get the support (and he is of) Nancy Pelosi, Val Demings, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Valerie Jarrett,. Rashida Talib, Stacy Abrams, Ayanna Pressley, Nancy Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Tom Perez, Maxine Waters, Al Green, and llhan Omar.
This is the core of the socialists leftist wing of the Democrat party and are firmly in charge.
Democrats want to make this election all about the hate for President Trump. NOT their platform & Goals for obvious reasons.
