The Democrat voting advantage has now dropped below 100,000 to 99,641.

This is based on mail in returns and in person voting associated with party affiliation.

Clearly, we do not know who the votes were cast for, but it is a pretty interesting statistic.

On another note, the Democrats have returned ~77% of the mail in ballots requested.

In 2016, there were 20% left on the table that were never returned.

I suspect the total returned will be slightly higher this year, but I think we are nearing the total mail in vote returns for the Democrats.

It all comes down to in person early voting voting and Election Day voting, IMO.

Kamala is in Miami begging for votes. They arent even pretending to appeal to undecideds. They are just trying to stop the bleeding in their urban strongholds.

But the pollsters still say Biden is taking Florida by 4.

How large of a lead do they need going into November third to be able to keep up with the advantage Republicans will have with in person voting?

I read an analytics guy say the Dems needed a 360,000 lead heading into election day to have any sort of shot in FL. This is considering the increase in expected election day voting compared to the past. This is also using straight line party affiliation so could sway a little is more Rs vote D or Ds vote R. This is good news

I take it back.

They actually were down in mail in votes in 2016.

Very true.

Older, southern dems who've never changed party affiliation, and minority dems shifting for Trump.

The dems have no shot in Florida. Multiple different references yesterday on why that is

With the rate the votes are dropping, Republicans might have the advantage come Election Day.

People are predicting the high number of mail in votes will be the deciding factor.

That was Rasmussen’s entire point last night.

My point is, I think 80% return will be the threshold and that won’t be enough.

I’m a little confused. I read that early turnout is a problem for Dems and they are in panic.

But then I read a j another thread that this is trending just like 2016 so far, which was waaaaaay too close and had solid turnout for Dems.

The left lost Fla by a nats arse in 2016.

So which is it. Is this coming down to the wire again, or is the left in a panic? Can’t be both, right?

Dana Perino said statistics show the closer to election day undecideds tend to vote for the incumbent.

FL is solidly red.

Socialism doesn’t play well in FL.
