Florida provides information about the party affiliation of all the votes t hat have been cast in the election.
Leading up to the election there were mail in ballots and In person early v oting. These ballots are associated with a party but the actual votes are not coun ted.
In dependent votes are not accounted for in this analysis.
_______________________________________ Leading up to the election:
VBM Ballots - DEMs lead by 673,828
In-Person Early Voting - REPs lead by 558,412
Combined Early Voting - DEMs lead by 115,416 _______________________________________________
So leading up to the election the dems led the repubs by 115 thousand votes .
For election day the counties continuously pour data out as to votes cast a nd party affiliation.
As of about 11 am there has been an almost perfect line of 40,000vote/hour advantage going to the republicans. At about 11am the democrat advantage o f 115,000 votes has been erased and the republicans are ahead by 55,000 vot es. If these rates hold up over the rest of the day, the republicans will have cast more than 300,000 more votes than the democrats.
In general people do not flip from D to R or vice versa, and this assumes t hat those who declare as independent will split 50/50.
in 2016 going into election day the dem advantage was almost identical to 2
020, but in 2016 the republicans gained and overcame the dems but by a pret ty narrow marginIf this data is good data then Florida is going to go for trump with a grea ter percentage than in 2016. .....
BTW trump doing a rally in NOVA today (Northern VA)...
