In the absence of such efforts, a concerted drive by President Donald Trump’s Florida campaign to register voters has helped cut the state’s long-standing Democratic advantage to fewer than 185,000 voters, a gap of just 1.3 percentage points, according to data from the Florida Division of Elections released this week.
“It’s late in the game now,” said state Sen. Jason Pizzo, a Miami Democrat. “There’s been no pushback from us, meaning that for every 100 doors that Republicans have proverbially knocked on, it’s not like they pissed people off to the point where they’ve run to the Democratic Party because they’re pissed at the GOP. It’s shown to be effective.”
In August, Republicans added a party record of almost 58,000 new voters — a 91 percent increase compared to August 2016, the Florida election data show. The number of new Republicans added in August is 41 percent more than the number of new Democrats who registered. Democratic registration, meanwhile, was 6 percent lower than the total racked up in August 2016.
I suspect that for everyone who joins the Republicans, there are quite a few more who will vote for them but do not want to stick their neck out. Seems like the media and corporations are on the side of the Democrats, one of the many reasons I am going to vote for Trump.
It is going to be an interesting election since both sides are so charged.

I don't see the Dems as being charged. Loud, yes, but not charged up about their candidate. There is no "hope and change" going on. Rioters are not voters.
Hopefully, it will be a Trump landslide to the point that recounts and challenges will be pointless. I'll certainly do my part.....
Huh? Depends which city and area you are in Florida. I know I have never been more motivated to vote early than before. Mailed in vote already and will monitor the status online. It was so easy...
