... “If these patterns persist, we could see a turnout rate at least equaling the turnout rate in 1966, which was 48 percent, and if we beat that then you have to go all the way back to 1914, when the turnout rate was 51 percent,” McDonald told The New York Times Tuesday. “We could be looking at a turnout rate that virtually no one has ever experienced.”
As in past elections, more Republicans than Democrats are voting early: older voters tend to be Republican, and older voters tend to like voting early.
So far in Flagler, nearly half the ballots cast (49 percent) are by registered Republicans, well exceeding the 41 percent proportion of registered Republicans in the county. Just over 34 percent of ballots have been cast by Democrats, who represent 31 percent of the Flagler electorate: that’s an indication of a little more enthusiasm, but still nothing matching the GOP’s.
Independents are the least interested: just 16.5 percent of ballots cast are by independents, even though they represent 28 percent of the electorate.

Independents usually aren’t that interested in midterms.
“As in past elections, more Republicans than Democrats are voting early:”
Wait a minute,l have always the early voting always favors the Rats. Another thing, isn’t kinda weird they’re having the 2nd debate after the voting has started?
Yes, we’ve heard early voting usually turn out the dems?
Maybe in FLA the R’s turnout more than Dems with early voting?
The huge GOP surge is off the charts and its swamping the Rats.
This isn’t your typical midterm election. No one predicted or expected this.
hence the bomb nonsense today and the media and leftards running to the mics
They’ve got nothing.
Their last ace in the deck is the Victim Card. I think it’ll fall short.
This bombing hoax is designed to torque early voting.
You post this as it were Chicago or something. (My Mom lives on Flagler Drive, BTW, but it's in West Palm Beach. Ya know, the one in Florida.)
ML/NJ
They need to wake up the Walking Dead apparently by appealing to victimhood.
I think it’s in AZ. That helps McSally.
Yes, I’ll admit right here on FR that I am pissed, although I usually refrain from using that kind of language!!!
First came the character assassination of Kavanaugh, then the massive Caravan(s) on the verge of invading our country and now today this obvious bomb hoax.
This is all designed to intimidate us deplorables not to vote and to even deter our magnificent POTUS!!!
We must not surrender and resolve to exterminate these seditious RATS once and for all!!
Flagler is in North Florida. ie its in Dixie. ie it is reliably Republican.
FL
LOL. This is very bad news for Gollum and Nelson. I’ll take it.
If he GOP doesn’t win in November - this kind of turnout means nothing.
It says Florida in the title ... just sayin
