Whether these early votes are coming at the expense of Election Day turnout is anyone’s guess, but thus far the Republican Party of Florida is winning the turnout war against the Florida Democratic Party.
The secret sauce: a massive bank of early, in-person votes.
As of Thursday morning, 620,322 Republicans have voted in person, compared to 313,682 Democrats, 188,420 no-party voters and 23,999 “others.” That gives the GOP more than 54% turnout among 1,146,123 early birds.
Democrats do hold an advantage in returned mail ballots, at 709,736 to 606,191 for the GOP. In addition, 321,890 no-party voters and 33,985 “others” have also returned ballots, for a total of 1,671,802 thus far cast.
Dems had a 673,819 advantage in 2020’s returned mail ballots, and that won’t happen this time around in all likelihood.
Republicans dominate active voter registration, with an advantage of 1.055 million.
The early turnout numbers and the massive bank of Republican votes are likely good news for presidential candidate Donald Trump, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott and the efforts to kill constitutional amendments that would legalize recreational pot and would remove state constraints on reproductive rights.

Is it good journalism to write an article that assumes the 30% of voters that are NPA are irrelevant? How can you draw any sort of conclusion when almost a third of the population universe is ignored for purposes of your projection? You should leave statistical forecasting to those who actually took the class in college.

AG can only report on what he has at hand.
The vote of independents and NPAs could turn Trick Scott into a permanent lame duck. Do it, please!

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

Babblehead and L’Turd are unable to keep a civil tongue in their heads, which should be simple since they are the same troll.

Honestly, who could want 4 more years of this s%t we have endured? Who would want inflation? Who would want higher gas prices and higher grocery prices? Who could want massive illegal immigration that devalues the wages of American workers? Who in their right mind would want to pay higher taxes? You have got to have a rock for a brain to want 4 more years of this crap. Vote Trump 2024

Are you referring to the continuing growth of the number of scofflaw billionaires at the same time that so many citizens are having difficult economic times?
You’re pouring gas on the fire.
