Is That Correct?
I count on you guys for the truth...

MSNBC just said that in Florida early voting, 39% of the votes cast were cast by Democrats and 47% were cast by Republicans...

That doesn't jive with the state registration figures...

1. Maybe they're talking about absentee voting.

3. Remember a lot of the military declare FL as their residence so they don't pay state income tax.
The military is more blue than in the past, but they are probably still registered republican.

2. They are including absentee ballots.
As early voting continues, we will make up this ground and more.

6. The absentee ballots were almost 2:1 in favor of Republicans
but the early voting is quickly cutting into that lead.
