TAMPA ­­— Heading into today’s election, more than 3 million Floridians have already voted at early voting sites or by casting absentee ballots in what polls continue to show as a governor’s race too close to call.

The unprecedented number of pre-election day votes in a non-presidential year may suggest a higher-than-normal voter turnout, officials and political strategists said. They said the Charlie Crist-Rick Scott governor’s race, the most expensive political campaign in Florida history and one of the nastiest, may have driven voters to the polls.

Analysts from both parties contend the partisan breakdown of those who have already voted shows an advantage for their candidate, but polls continue to suggest the winner will depend on which sides turns its voters out.

According to the Florida Secretary of State’s office, 3,066,735 people voted early or by absentee through the final day of early voting Sunday — 26 percent of Florida’s 11.9 million registered voters.

I did last Thursday because I was going out of town and knew I would be too tired to go to the polls this afternoon when I got home from the air port.

From you keyboard to God's (collective consciencenes, fate, nemesis, the Force, the vote's, or whatever other power may be) ear... And back down to the vote tabulations.

Scott leads Crist 48 percent to 47. Libertarian Adrian Wyllie had 4 percent of the vote.

... but thirty-three percent isn't very reliable.

Voted against the Reptilian Overlord by absentee ballot two weeks ago because of a health condition I thought might keep me from going to the polls in person. I hope my ballot will be counted.

My husband also voted for Crist and we both voted yes on Medical Marijuana. Fingers crossed!
