Early voting already underway in Florida
Early voting is already underway in Florida, the biggest swing state in the nation, as Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and President Trump fight over its 29 electoral votes.
The Florida Department of State reported Saturday that over 6,600 mail-in ballots have been returned and more than 5 million others have been requested. Voters in the Sunshine State have until Oct. 5 to register to vote and Oct. 24 to request a mail-in ballot.
The ballots already submitted puts the state on track to more than double the 2.7 million ballots that were cast via mail in 2016. A partisan split is already emerging in the number of ballots being mailed in, with 2.3 million Democrats requested mail-in ballots compared with 1.6 million Republicans. Another 1.1 million people not affiliated with either party have requested ballots be sent to them.
Florida has over 14 million voters, including more than 5.2 million Democrats and over 5 million Republicans.
