Excellent work! FYI the new Requests do seem to be trending GOP. We are seeing about 30 to 50 thousand overall new Requests daily with a slight GOP edge and that’s why we have slowly cut into the overall Democratic Request advantage.
I agree those now requesting ballots (essentially new VBM voters) are most certainly likely to vote.

“I hope it gets to over 100,000 more votes”
Just want to caution y’all. At the end of early voting in Florida, likely more DEMs will have voted than REPs.
The goal is to keep their margin small enough to overcome it with election day voting.
This is exactly what happened in Florida in 2016. DEM margin was small enough that Trump overcame it on election day.
Since Florida VBM started, new VBM requests:
Republican 247,300, 36.2%
Democrat 294,800, 43.2%
Other 147,600, 21.6%
Ok since we started ok. Over the last week it’s been the other way though. We’ll need to monitor this.
