Gillum running well ahead of Crist's numbers from 2014. If that holds up we should be okay. But keep in mind the rural counties are turning out in much greater numbers than 2014, and that will favor Scott and DeSantis.

So far Gillum seems to be doing about 1 point better than Nelson, which makes sense.

These races in Florida are vital and they will be close.

It wasn’t a razor thin 2000 scenario, but it was no landslide for Scott either.

On edit: It was a mere one percentage point victory for Scott.

translates also to a Nelson win. We can't have Prick Scott as senator. Ugh!

Nelson and Gillum are looking pretty healthy in Florida with where the results are coming from. Large amounts of votes will come from Broward/Miami Dade and they're already ahead.
