The state has already been called for President Donald Trump.

More than 11 million Floridians cast ballots in Tuesday’s elections, with turnout early Wednesday estimated at 77%, according to information on the state Division of Elections website.

The website showed at least 11,076,775 of the more than 14.44 million voters cast ballots, though it indicated that numbers from Clay, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties were not complete.

The highest turnout was in Collier County, with 90%, and Sumter County, with 88% percent. Hardee County had the lowest turnout at 65%, while Hendry County was at 68% percent, according to the Division of Elections website.

Florida has been called for President Donald Trump, earning him the state’s coveted 29 electoral votes. As of 1:15 a.m. the presidential race had yet to be decided with votes still being counted in key battleground states including Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

As of 3 a.m., The Associated Press had the Electoral College tally at 238 votes for former Vice President Joe Biden and 213 votes for Trump with 87 votes remaining.

Among states yet to be called are Georgia (16), Michigan (16), Nevada (6), North Carolina (15), Pennsylvania (20) and Wisconsin (10).

Trump was leading in all but Nevada, though there are a significant number of mail and early ballots yet to be counted in some of those states, meaning the final results may not be known until later this week — Pennsylvania, in particular, does not expect to finish its count until Friday.
