Early votes have been counted. Who has the Florida advantage going into Election Day?

MIAMI — Assuming everyone voted according to their party, the two-week early voting period that ended Sunday could be good news for the challenger in the presidential race in a state many call a must-win to take the White House.

For the first time in two weeks, Florida Democrats cast more ballots than Republicans on Sunday, helping Democratic nominee Joe Biden pad his advantage over President Donald Trump in the nation’s biggest battleground heading into Election Day.

According to figures posted Monday morning by the Florida Division of Elections, just over 100,000 Democratic votes were processed Sunday, the final day of early voting in Florida.

Florida Republicans, meanwhile, cast about 88,000 ballots.

There will be Biden republicans, not trump democrats voting in Florida.
Republicans will only add to our tally, not the other way around.

I remind myself of three things

Covid has made comparisons to prior years fairly pointless.

PA, MI, and WI all look good - and should be all we need in terms of swing states.

We still have decent chances at NC, AZ, GA - plus outside chances at OH, TX, and IA
