Very good sign. Primary voters were also heavier R.
This particular metric only goes back to 2014. No information from 2012/2008/2004.
For 2014, TOTAL absentee ballot requests: GOP-1,062,526; DEM-1,004,752; Others-501,000
So this is not a precise apples to apples comparison but still instructive.
Marco Rubio’s campaign may be helping this along a bit too on the GOP side. I am not saying this as a fan of Rubio.
Democrats are always jumping for joy seeing these kinds of stats for all the states, because they emphasize this and tend to do real well. If these kinds of numbers persist, and continue similarly in other states, they are really going to get desperate and depressed.
The question is how many of those Republican and Independent absentee ballot requests are actually Democrats engaging in vote stealing?
I wonder how many of those Dem absentees are dead.
Saint Lucie County Supervisor of elections has already in the past thrown an election for a dem.
She is dirty and i expect it this election too.
A good sign, but don’t read too much into it. I remember being very confident in 2012 because Romney’s early ballot stats were SOOO much better than McCain’s. And he lost every state I was tracking.
How many are sent to:
1. NYC
2. Philly
3. Europe
4. Mexico
5. Puerto Rico
6. Belize
7. APO
8. Chicago
I found this:
“As a result, while the number of absentee ballots cast by Florida Republicans in 2008 beat the Democratic number by some 15 points, this year that gap narrowed dramatically to fewer than 5 points. In fact, the total number of absentee ballots cast in Florida so far is more than 2 million, up 8.7% from 2008. That brings the early-voting total in Florida (in-person and absentee ballots) to almost 4.5 million — more than in 2008. (In 2008, Florida had 11.2 million registered voters; this year it’s 11.5 million, so the total early-voter share of the state electorate is still about the same, around 38%.) In all, Democrats have cast almost 250,000 more early votes than Republicans have, and that number could climb when all the outstanding absentee ballots have come in. Obama likely ends up with an early-vote lead in Florida of about 5 points.”
How many to dead voters?
Trump will FL easily.
In early voting alone. Its over.
Hillary is done.
