But who is more likely to vote on election day during this pandemic?
We know the answer to that, the same people who attend Trump rallies.

Look at the hours people are waiting in line to vote in Philly and Atlanta in traditional Dem strongholds....that will continue to election day.

Many newly registered voters in Florida register as no-party for the past 5+ years. This is the fastest growing voter registration group in Florida and it continues to grow faster than Dem and Rep registrations.

This is correct. 25% of the FL electorate is Independent. Biden currently leads them. It's the single most important voter bloc in the state.

Just to provide context, FL-GOPers demolished more than 50K of the Dems' pre-ED voting lead in a single day. If this keeps pace into the weekend, Dems will have lost their entire pre-ED lead.

With all this early voting the media isn't doing any exit polling where they usually get there data from to make election night predictions.

Really good point. I wonder how this is going to affect election-night coverage.

I imagine it’s hard to do exit polling when such a substantial proportion of votes are by mail, and lean heavily democratic.

Florida is a great state to watch on election night. Here is why:
1) It closes early so we get results quickly
2) They count their ballots fast so we will know who won it before midnight (hopefully)
3) If Biden wins it we can go to sleep because it means he won the Presidency
4) If Trump wins it then we are gonna have a fight on our hands for the rest of the night

Only in normal election years. 2020 being 2020, for all we know, it may all come down to Arizona (2 hrs ahead of FL)
