Here's the daily update on absentee-ballot voting so far by party. As we noted in previous posts on the matter, Republicans are still holding an edge in requests and returns. Voting in the I-4 corridor is still heavy (yesterday's blog here). Expect the totals to change in the Democrats' favor when early in-person voting starts Oct. 27 (story here on that).
Here's the vote tally:
| Party | Voted | …..% |
| REP | 174,595 | 45% |
| DEM | 156,572 | 40% |
| IND | 60,727 | 15% |
| Total | 391,894 |
Here are the outstanding requests:
| Party | Requests | ….% |
| REP | 768,661 | 41% |
| DEM | 739,804 | 40% |
| IND | 350,249 | 19% |
| Total | 1,858,714 |
Note: These numbers are from this morning, so by now the number of absentee ballots cast is sure to exceed 400,000.
