Also there are many R counties in Fla that are not even open for early voting yet.

I updated the Vote-by-Mail totals in Florida on Page 1 (8th post on this thread) with this mornings update. The Democrat advantage in Vote-by-Mail in Florida is 569,039 (from 527,836 2 days ago).

Republicans hold an advantage of 141,522 in Early (In-Person) voting as of this morning.

Thus, Democrats hold an advantage in Florida in Early Voting (Mail and In-Person) of 386,314 as of this morning (10/23).

I don't understand why Trump is spending so much time in Florida. He is either worried about and/or knows he has one of the blue wall states locked up with AZ and knows all he needs to do is keep Fla.

If Republicans can go into Election Day with a similar amount of ballets return they they win East . Last year it seem like more democrats voted for Trump then republicans for Hillary.

My hope is today is the latest Florida rallies, then Trump makes one last swing out to AZ/NV and then camps out in the Upper Midwest the last week before the election.

Yep. The OP is a bit disingenuous. He's right, R's do hold the lead in "early voting" which I assume strictly means early in person voting. But there is a BIG advantage for the Dems once the vote-by-mail number is included. Technically they are both "early voting". Just by different means.

The big question is is the huge mail in numbers reflective of tremendous Democrat turnout? Or, reflective of Democrats continuing to be so terrified of covid that they don't want to "risk" showing up to vote on election day?

Point being, the overall turnout (early vote + election day) could be roughly the same as most years. It's just that because of covid, the vast majority of Dems voted early whereas usually they wouldn't

I would tend to think this is the case. To me, voting by mail is more of a hassle and requires more actual effort that driving up and doing it in person, so I am hoping these are just Democrats who would normally put forth the effort to vote for the Democrat in person.

Agree. Needs to hammer MN, WI, PA, MI. One more trip to NH, NV, and AZ. Maybe a 1-2 more to NC after this weekend too (especially to help Tillis).

The Ohio rally Saturday makes a little less sense unless it's to help with a congressional seat.
