6. Thankyou. It's the indie left swing, and it's too wide for the gop to catch.

They would need a higher turnout today to surpass that. and it's not happening yet. Great news!

8. It depends on how they break. In 2016 they went heavily for Trump. In 2018 they went for Ds.

If they break like they did in 2018 (and like the polling suggests) Biden can still win FL pretty well, but at this point we're relying on the NPAs and not the Dems to carry us to victory in FL. I'd rather have a Dem lead at this point than rely on NPAs.

For reference, Rs were (+~57,000) in 2016.

We need NPAs to break heavily for Biden (they went for Trump in 2016, but Ds in 2018 midterms) and we need some Rs to vote for Joe, too.

FL is close enough that if those things happen Joe can still win. But the Republicans are turning out better than they did in 2016 which could be a problem.

10. Extrapolated (dangerous since vote rate will likely increase after work)

This would give Republicans a 2.2% lead in turnout.

Using the numbers posted above, this would give Biden ~ 4.5% lead. Grain of salt here, but this is my simpleton 2:30 to 3:30 update extrapolated.

11. Yeah, that's about how I have it too.

FL is totally dependent on how these NPAs vote and if Joe can snag a couple of % more from the Rs than Trump snags from the Ds.

7. Really stupid question

What is 'Other'? In FL can you be registered Green, etc.?

In Ohio we pull a Dem, rep, or "issues only" ballot at the primary and that determines our party affiliation.
