Trump Mail In Voting Attack Backfires And Massively Helps Democrats In Florida
Trumps months-long attacks on mail-in voting have led to 700,000 more Democrats than Republican requesting mail-in ballots in Florida.
<snip>
This could be a game changer, Mr. Bush, a former governor, wrote in an email.
Republicans have spent decades building in a mail-in voting advantage in Florida. Election nights have long been a matter of if Democrats could get enough same-day and early vote to wipe out the mail-in voting advantage that Republicans run-up.
If Democrats outnumber Republicans in mail-in voting in Florida, Trump will lose the state, but more importantly, it will have down-ballot impacts in the state. Democrats could win local and statewide races that they would not have normally had a chance in. - PoliticusUSA

Fiendish Thingy
(15,616 posts)1. And Florida counts their mail in ballots BEFORE Election Day
Unlike other states that hold them until polls are closed, Florida tallies ballots as they are received, so the results can be released immediately when polls close.
My big question is: Does Florida have drop boxes for ballots, or do they all have to be returned via USPS?

Not sure if there are any at other voting locations.

If our people show up, the world becomes a better place ALWAYS.
