Someone who has lived here for awhile said that Democratic turnout is usually higher for early voting, and Republicans generally wait until election day. That's why I'm not reading too much into these results.
Would love Florida to be called early and definitively for Clinton. A lot of drama may be avoided.
Well that could only be possible if you support the most corrupt unethical and dishonest person ever to get the (D) party nomination.
FL is a (R) state with state House & Senate with large (R) control. There is a (R) Governor as well, not to mention there has not been a (D) Governor in FL since 1999.
With the exception of two, maybe three liberal counties, the rest of the state is conservative.
As to the articles comment about Hispanics, they must believe all Hispanics think alike.
Cubans which make up the bulk of Hispanics in the state are mostly (R's), not (D's).
So for someone who voted against Hillary like I did, I am glad to hear Hispanics came out in greater numbers.
yet at the same time I read that Democratic early voting turnout is no where close to 2012.
So far, Latino voting in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina is significantly up from 2012, according to Catalist, a data company that works with progressive candidates and groups to receive detailed early vote return information this year. Catalist's voter list connects returned ballots with demographic and registration information, such as party registration, gender and age, and allows a closer look at who has already cast a vote.
In total, more than 30 million votes have been cast already across 38 states with early voting. And both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continue to urge their supporters to vote early as Election Day nears.
Latinos tend to vote more Democratic than the population as a whole. And in 2012, Latinos voted for President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney by 71% to 27%, according to an analysis of exit polls by the Pew Hispanic Center.
Early voting is heavily favoring Clinton and minority voting is way up. Minority voting for Hispanics is now up by 100% and over 70% of those voters will be voting for Clinton. Clinton can afford to lose Florida and still have lots of paths to victory...Trump...not so much...
From the link...
Victory in Florida is essential for Republican nominee Donald Trump to have any chance of winning the White House. But analysts said the voters who turned out in historic numbers this weekend have likely given Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, a critical edge heading into Election Day.
Here's the kicker. Democrats have out voted Republicans by 33,000 votes. At this time Trump has 168,000 more Republicans that have voted than Romney did. Obama that pulled in the Black vote like no other, beat Romney by 74,000 votes.
So, you tell me... Is Hillary where she needs to be, and this doesn't take into account the split ticket voting, that has been heavy.
Florida just may surprise the Hildabeast. Trump has investments and runs businesses in Florida. One thing I have observed in these polls, its always slanted against Trump. We will have to see once the dust settles.
Who told you all Hispanics are voting for Hillary? I voted Trump!
Someone said "all"? Haven't seen anyone claim that on any thread on any forum.
