Republicans are far ahead of Democrats in Florida in voting so far in the presidential election.
The overwhelming Republican turnout after four days of early voting in most of Florida is besting the Democrats, who are holding their own — barely — in the Democratic strongholds of Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Republican ballots cast so far are slightly ahead of Democrats in Miami-Dade County.
Data on Friday morning, after four full days of in-person early voting in most of Florida and four weeks after Florida voters began receiving their vote-by-mail ballots, showed Republicans with a 300,000-vote statewide lead over the Democrats.
They’re not only turning out in greater total numbers, but so far a higher percentage of registered Republicans has voted than the percentage of Democrats who have voted.
Almost 3.4 million Florida voters had cast ballots by Friday morning.
On Friday morning, about 1.5 million Republicans had voted, which works out to 27.3% of the state’s registered Republicans.
