Republicans eke out Democrats in turnout on first day of Florida's early voting

More registered Republicans than Democrats turned out to vote on the first day of early voting in Florida, according to data reviewed by the The Washington Post.
The difference wasn't huge, with 43 percent of those showing up to vote being registered Republicans compared to 42 percent who were registered Democrats. The remaining voters in the group of 339,152 people who cast in-person votes on Monday were third-party or unaffiliated.
Turnout on the first day of early voting in the critical swing state was up nearly 17 percent compared to four years ago when roughly 290,000 cast ballots, the Florida Department of State reported.
President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden are hotly contesting the state, which Trump won four years ago. Polls show a tight race.
A number of people have already cast write-in ballots, and a total of 2,509,245 voters have already taken part in Florida's election. There are more than 14 million registered voters in the state in total. LINK

YUGE, TRUMP will surpass his margin in 2016 for sure.

Yep. Democrats always vote early in larger numbers than Republicans, so this would appear to be very good news for OMB and the country.

I feel like Trump is going to land far more of the independent votes.

We're going this weekend. Who wants to wait in line for three hours on election day when you can get it done in 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon?

Which was completely glanced over by this article. 13% non R or D.

Just wait until the cemetery demographic begins casting their votes

I will vote in FL on the Tuesday that God intended me to. I will walk into the polling place with a voter ID card, Drivers license, and passport. I will answer all questions aboot my eligibility, then cast my vote.
I will then go buy wings and curly fries and prepare to watch OMB get 270+ votes as the talking heads cry, threaten, cajole, and gnash their teeth. I will mostly watch Fox, but I like switching to CNN and MSNBC so I can see those losers defecate on themselves.
I especially enjoy watching that little feller on MSNBC cry. He also seems to hold a grudge, kind of like a woman scorned.
Let's rock.

I will eventually move my address to GA or FL to help the reds out.

Thousands of Unaffiliated voters voted yesterday in FL. Those folks might determine who wins that state.
FL is an absolute MUST win state for Trump as is GA and NC.
MI, PA, and WI are must wins for Biden.

Imma be honest. That doesn’t sound like that big of a deal. Just up 17%?

How many are lazy asses like me. I registered as a Democrat when I was a teenager. Never bothered changing it. I haven't considered myself a dem since 08 and I'm MAGA AF

I am one of them.

This is good because Trump will probably win independents by 5-7 points

Putting a lid on it for 4 days is also known as giving up. They are hiding Joe, and not putting Kamala in a position where she may be asked anything. (Putting Headboard Kamala in a position, lol.)
Also, with Hunter being in Biden-jail, how is he procuring the little rocks that he uses for subsistence? Does he know a guy?

Half those Dems are voting Trump.
