Sunday is souls to the polls. Does republicans participate in this too or just democratic churches. It would be nice if some Christian churches on the gop side did this. Florida needs all the republican votes it can muster.

I sure hope that CREEP Gillum gets his arse handed to him. He could ruin Florida singlehandedly.

That’s wonderful!! I suppose a rally thread will start early today.

So much support for Trump may be attributed to the Rats’ dirty deeds, the most recent being them trying to frame Trump for bombs. It’s so satisfying to watch them continue to self destruct. Each new trick they try is more pathetic and unhinged than the one before it. And they don’t get it.

My Prediction at this moment for Florida:

Republicans will give Trump GOP team 95% of their votes.

Democrats will split their voting, with 60% going to Democrat and 40% going to Trump Republicans including disgruntled Blue Collar Democrats and large numbers of both African-Americans & Latinos, 20% American Blacks & 40% Latinos.

Independents will go 60% for Trump GOP candidates & 40 % for Democrats.

IMHO...Democrats are wasting their votes on both key Democrat Candidates, Andrew Gillum & Bill Nelson. IMHO...this game over, congratulations Rick Scott & Ron DeSantis & the rest of the Republican, Trump Ticket!!!

I don’t see it as that huge of a win, but so many Dems are ONLY engaged during Presidential years. As the core group of elderly white voters have left the Democrats over the 80s and 90s, they’ve become much heavier R votes during midterm years.

The Dems thought they could create a nationwide movement resembling the “blue wave” special elections during the last two years. It’s simply impossible, as D voting is just too lax nationwide. They may win 2-3 flips, especially in CA, but they’re going to lose at least twice those in races they didn’t expect.

I think Gillum will lose by at least 2-3%.

Not to worry.
Progressives have advanced degrees in loosing certain ballots and “finding” other ballots.

Just wait.

REPs won in-person EV yesterday and cumulatively over the first 4 days. Also won VBM yesterday and extended its lead.

This is an excellent point. When Scott Brown (R) was elected Senator in Mass., it was an off-year. People liked him, mostly thought he did a decent job the short time he was there, very few people were highly negative about him.

But the minute he had to run against a certified unethical loon like Warren, he lost because she was swept in because it was a presidential election year, so the mindless Dem zombies who vote straight ticket (but never show up in off-years) all showed up.

Yes, I think we are due for either another ‘sex scandal’ or a _____ scandal to try and smear potus and deter R turnout.

There are a couple of big advantages to banking votes early.

The GOTV effort can concentrate on the people who haven’t voted yet.

The banked votes mean you don’t have to worry about people skipping long election day lines or skipping the election day vote because they have “to pick up the kids from daycare”.

Well, I’m voting tomorrow, and it’ll be the first time I ever voted early. I’m curious what is the prevalence of first-timers out there?

And I think this may be at an end as well. For all that can be said about how splintered the GOP is with Trump (namely: little), if the DNC loses the House this midterm, or loses more seats than previous and 4-5 Senate seats, the Democratic Socialist lefties will split and leave the DNC.

I sincerely hope this will happen, as the DNC will do what it usually does (buy Bernie 2-3 more houses) in order to bring the commies back into the fold, which lead to more absurdly fun mockery by the right.

First day open here in Pasco county, Florida (Wednesday, the 24th) saw lines surging in to the voting centers stretching back, it looked like a Trump rally queue was forming up.

And Pasco has been a vast-majority Republican district for quite a while now.

Nobody is completely uninvolved, and maybe the vote will rival a Presidential election.

Awesome prediction, I would hope Gillum is beat by +5. It’s pathetically embarrassing that he can even run for a state-wide office. Downright shameful. Are you in the Panhandle?

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.

And reading about FL 2018 early vote totals.

SpeedyInTexas, looking at all of 2016 and 2018 FL early votes, you are today for the first time showing a lead for R in the in-person early vote column. This is unprecedented by definition. Would love for a comment.

Besides a few votes in Osceola, all the other counties starting up early voting today and tomorrow are going to help our side.

For those curious I looked at Broward and EV the first weekend was slower there than during the week. Then it ramps up the second week and into the Sunday before election day. With that in mind and EV just starting in many red areas, we could really run up a lead here.

Volusia may be a county to watch over the weekend (starts EV tomorrow). Went blue by about 4.5% in 2014 and less than 1% in 2016.
