Republicans running ahead in Florida voting. Democrats slightly ahead in South Florida.

Republicans are far ahead of Democrats in Florida in voting so far in the presidential election.

The overwhelming Republican turnout after four days of early voting in most of Florida is besting the Democrats, who are holding their own — barely — in the Democratic strongholds of Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Republican ballots cast so far are slightly ahead of Democrats in Miami-Dade County.

Data on Friday morning, after four full days of in-person early voting in most of Florida and four weeks after Florida voters began receiving their vote-by-mail ballots, showed Republicans with a 300,000-vote statewide lead over the Democrats.

some people have registered R to vote in a primary. Of course, DeSatan has done all the tricks to suppress registration, drop voters, etc. It seems that more and more people are NPA too.

I voted in Clearwater, and there are a few Harris signs and a few Trump signs. Very little energy here so far.

I don't know if party affiliation or early voting will be the story. I also wonder about the effects of the hurricane on early voting.
