about 27% of registered voters in Florida are either "Minor Party" or "No Party Affiliation":

A couple of hundred thousand more voters are registered as Democrats than as Republicans.

I guess the key would be to figure out whether the unaffiliateds are more in Red or Blue districts.

So I have no educated opinion, just sharing what I saw on the Fla. Div. of Elections site.

but we really don't hear much; split how, and I do believe it is because nobody is really too sure about the numbers. I suspect that is where we will see a large Biden win. Many of the young people registering are registered as independents. I also think that the MSM doesn't really want us to know because it would no longer be a horse race.
