All we are seeing it the affiliation, not the vote, correct? What do others think? I know it is all guessing.

I think we will end early in person voting on Saturday with a 220,000 -240-000 voter lead. I think we will gain a bit back on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as they tally more mail in vote.
I also think we have a small lead in NPAs

I dropped my ballot off on the 13th. The county should have started on the 19th, but didn't get started until the 21st. My ballot is still not counted.

If you want to see how good ole boy communities operate, it begins by setting their own rules.

10. Miami-Dade ballot return rate jumped 6% today

From 49.6% to 55.6%. That was a very positive development. It gets the Miami-Dade overall turnout level up to Broward and Palm Beach level, as mentioned in the OP.

Also, it is surprisingly good weather in Miami today. Not raining, despite the 90% forecasts for these hours from yesterday. It looks like there may be late afternoon showers. Hopefully the Souls to the Polls and other turnout events manage to squeeze in before the thunderstorms expected at 5 PM and later.
