According to the Secretary of State’s Office, a total of 2,564,067 Republicans have already voted in Florida as of the close of business Tuesday, putting Democrats in a 667,959 raw vote hole.
While there is no guarantee that registered Republicans (or Democrats, for that matter) are voting for their own party’s candidates, the numerical edge for Republicans continues to build as time runs out for the opposition party to close the gap.
Republicans are deriving their strength from a massive edge in early, in-person voting, casting a majority of the 3,340,065 votes at polling places throughout the state’s 67 counties.
While the 1,721,624 GOP ballots aren’t quite doubling the 904,239 cast by Democrats, that lopsided tally is the story of the election thus far.
Despite having no get-out-the-vote operation for no-party and minor party candidates, those unaligned voters are showing up, with 76,677 third party registrants voting in person along with 637,525 no-party registrants.
Democrats have a plurality of the 2,357,922 mail ballots received already, but Republicans are competitive, with 842,443 mailed in compared to 991,859 from Democrats. A total of 49,000 minor party voters and 474,620 no-party voters have also exercised their franchise.

I heard Republicans were supposed to personally hand deliver their ballots to Maga Lardo because that is the only way Trump can be sure he gets all his votes counted.
The thinking seems to be that only if Trump counts them first can he be sure he’ll get all his votes. Otherwise the Republican Governor and Republican Secretary of State might steal the election (same as Georgia in 2020), and, for reasons never explained in any way by any one, give it to the
catDemocrats.I’m not sure how true any of that is, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. IOW, just follow the directions that came with your ballot. Do not, whatever you might do or do not do, do not hand deliver your ballot to Maga Lardo.
Like Biden says, “Don’t. Just don’t.” Don’t hand deliver your ballot to Maga Lardo.

Posster boy Peachy loves to repeat how Biden opened the border on his first day in office.
The Cato Instiute in a new article tells what Trump did on his fourth day in office: “Trump signed an executive order rescinding Obama-era policies that prioritized the detention and removal of serious public safety threats;”
Obama focused on culling the convicted criminals among asylum seekers who were present in the US; Trump focused on separating children from their parents as an example that he believe would deter future asylum seekers.
