in 2016With less than two weeks until the 2020 presidential election, over 4.7 million Floridians have already cast their votes during the early voting period, surpassing the total number of votes for President Donald Trump in Florida in 2016.
The Florida Division of Elections reported Friday that 4,771,956 people have voted either by mail or in-person early voting, more than the 4.61 million total votes cast for Trump in 2016. The votes cast just under two weeks from Election Day is roughly 33 percent of all registered voters in the state.
According to the report, 2.1 million Democrats have voted in-person or by mail in the Florida general election so far, compared to 1.6 million Republicans.
There are currently 14.4 million registered voters in Florida. In 2016, 9.5 million of the then 12.8 million registered voters cast their ballots in the general election, according to the Division of Elections.

(20,148 posts)1. We have similar numbers in Texas
We've already had 6.4 million votes cast during early voting. Harris County (Houston) alone has already surpassed 1 million. Total votes cast for President in 2016 was 8.9 Million. With 6 more days of early voting, we may blow right past that and Nov 3rd will be gravy.
