I went to get donuts and was a short walk away from a polling place in Florida, but I want to vote on Election Day this year. I've never been able to go vote on Election Day before, and I want to take the opportunity.

And down by 400k in mail in ballots. Trump needs every vote he can get.

This is reported by party affiliation, correct? I would wager some registered Democrats will vote Trump and far fewer registered Republicans will vote Biden.

Regardless, 350k is a sizeable margin to overcome. We need to be relentless and vote.

Reminder that I, like others am a registered democrat who will vote Trump. The gap might be even bigger!

Keep convincing friends/family to vote Republican too!

In person? But not mail in?

The combined in person vote + mail in vote is D+386k or so (as of the point when I wrote this).

There was always going to be a pre-election D lead, but it's not what the Democrats were hoping for (their target was D+600k) and Republicans are just getting warmed up. (On the flip side, yes, that is still D+386k so, you know, vote like you mean it.)

As people have said. Some are registered dems but voting trump. Have these early votrs been verified and counted for Biden?

Florida just tells you party affiliation of voters who submitted ballots in the early vote, they don't actually tabulate the results of those ballots yet. I would agree that you're likely to see more D->R crossover than the other way around, so these numbers are probably even better than they look. We just can't say for sure yet.

This is misleading. We are down 350k when u include mail in.

At the least we need to get it to 2016 level. (Ds up 90k before Election Day)

I agree with you, but there is one theory that Dem e-day turnout will be very low because they tend to be more afraid and are mail-in voting in much higher percentages. We'll see.

It definitely will be. They’ve been blasting nonstop 24/7 for 6 months that COVID is the deadliest thing imaginable. The amount of Democrats lining up at polls IS and WILL CONTINUE to be lower than normal. They simply don’t have enough time left to sway enough of their base even if they did a complete 180 turn and started feverishly encouraging in person voting. A sizable enough chunk of leftists are absolutely fucking terrified of “super spreader” events and lining up at polls is one of them.

It amazes me how people can look around at the complete lack of dead bodies and overflowing hospitals and believe MSDNCNBCNNABCBS that they are in imminent, mortal danger

I'm in Florida and hate to vote too far ahead, even if I can vote early in-person. I want them to think they're in better shape than they are and hit them at the last minute with a red wave they can't overcome.

I'm just old. Election day is the first Tuesday of November not 11/1. If one is not out of state/country, one goes to the polls.

Dems still have a 400K+ lead in mail in votes though. Don't get complacent. Vote FL pedes.
