Right now, with a million votes in, the R-to-D margin is 63,000 votes closer than it was in 2010 - the change in partisan early/absentee margins is equivalent to Scott's entire margin of victory.
Very good news!
Yep, at one million votes early/absentee in 2010, the GOP advantage was +18.5 and now it's +13. We won day one of early voting by 2.4% this year, after losing it by 11.6% in 2010. We also matched 82.6% of our day one early votes from 2010 despite only 35 counties voting, compared to the GOP only matching 59%. We beat our 2010 vote number in 31/35 counties and improved as a share of the electorate in 23/35. We're obviously not out of the woods yet, not with Scott spending millions more, but we're in a much better place than in 2010, and we only need to do 61,000 votes better.
Who can we credit this accomplishment to?? Could it possibly be.....
the Florida Democratic Party?!?!?!
