Throughout Florida, Democrats getting out the Early vote.
Voting: Privilege and Responsibility


snip...

A sampling of eight counties showed a consistent pattern of Democrats turning out to cast early ballots in greater proportion than their share of registered voters, while Republicans were going to the early voting sites at or below what their registration percentages would suggest.

"In Seminole County, for example, Democrats make up 31.7 percent of the registered voters but 40 percent of the early voters. The same was true in Republican-leaning Brevard County, where many more Democrats are casting ballots than Republicans.

"In Osceola County, a Democratic bastion, Democrats are turning out for early voting in higher percentages than their share of registered voters, while Republicans are below their registration levels. The same was true in Hillsborough, the highly populated county where Tampa is located."

This of course, is a religious source... but is shows that in Florida, efforts to get out the ealry vote is working greatly in favor of Democrats, who are coming out in many Republican counties in far greater numbers than registration figures indicate.

In order for this to happen, An enormous percentage of the total registered voters have to be coming out to vote.
