Thread about Florida. Trump MUST win Florida, period. No model has him losing Florida and winning 270 electoral votes. None. And if Biden wins Floria by enough for the networks to call it for him election night, Democracy is saved. On Nov. 3! So what can we all do? Read on.

Florida mandates that the counting of absentee ballots start 22 days before the election. They could likely all be tabulated and released to the public within an hour or so of the polls closing at 7 p.m. ET. So how do we help make those Biden votes?

1. Thanks for the great post!

2. K&R

3. Haven't their vote machines been infiltrated by Russia...didn't we read about two?

[Blue_true]

9. No. It is believe that Russian agents hacked into two small counties.

That is a far cry from a statewide hack.

18. I vote in Fl and the set up is good. You fill in circles on paper

You bring it to a scanner and feed it yourself

It used to be more days early voting, now it is cut down. Oct 24- Oct 31. Times may vary by county

I do recall that 2 counties had been infiltrated but to what end I don't know

[gademocrat7]

4. K&R!

5. Biden can win without Florida. I don't think Trump can...

If we flip FL, Trump would need to flip several blue states he lost in '16. Ain't gonna happen.

You're right about that statement. I actually don't feel too bad about FL. It looks to be in play by current polls, and it appears that more and more seniors are coming around to the danger Trump and Repubs are to SS/Medicare.

12. With Trump losing AZ he cannot lose FL

6. Minor point, part of Florida is in the Central Time Zone. n/t

[Grammy23]

8. Yep. Starting just west of Tallahassee it changes to Central time.

Once I was on a call with someone in Orlando. I was in NW FL. I mentioned the time difference and she stood me down that I was in the Eastern time zone. As if I didn’t know my own time zone. I’m not sure I ever convinced her that yes, indeed, some parts of Florida are in central time. Duh.

11. Doesn't matter in regards to what the person in the tweet was writing.

When all Florida polls have closed once the panhandle polls close, the vote totals start being finalized statewide. By 10pm we should get some sense of where Florida is headed, if people that will be voting for Joe don’t wait until the last minute to send in mail-in ballots.

Honestly, anyone who has not gotten a sense that Trump will try to disrupt mail-in votes likely live in a cave, with their heads shoved up their asses. People need to properly turn their ballots around as soon as they get them, nothing is more important, IMO.

[rzemanfl]

14. I'm a nit picker. Did you mean to say "cave?"

Drumpf will try to disrupt the whole process, not just voting by mail.

[Blue_true]

15. Yes, I meant to say cave. Thanks. nt

[samnsara]

7. thanks..signed up!

[peggysue2]

10. Signed up last night for Vote Forward

If letter writing can help, I'm for it and willing to do it.

[mcar]

13. Florida Democrats have a 700,000+ advantage in Vote by Mail

applications. The Rs are really sweating this. FL does VBM very well, despite R interference.

[Thekaspervote]

16. definitely going to write letters! I opened their page just now they want to send 10 mil

They are currently at 5.9 mil!!

Just mho, I have my doubts we will win FL, but we don’t need it to win..just remember that on election night

[Ligyron]

17. Ok, color me stupid but I don't understand.

I went to the site and read everything too. So you just go to there and write a letter to a generic Florida voter urging them to vote early and for Biden, Democrats and the continuation of western civilization and they send it off to a random voter in that state?

Have I got that about right?
