5. Do you have proof of the day they went out? What day did the ballots finally get out?

They may have to return the ballots in person then. This should be broadcast so that these voters are informed just in case.

19. Miami-Dade did not mail ballots until Thursday, October 1

That was the last day allowed by Florida law, under the 33-40 day window. The vast majority of counties mailed ballots the first possible day, September 24

I know that seems like plenty of time but a full week later is meaningful on the margins

This is the scare du jour the last day. I'm down here, this isn't true. No one has any idea how anyone is voting.

Notice teh same sources aren't talking about the insane and unusual turnout for Broward, or how Palm Beach County is well above 2016 turnout.

More doom and gloom. As far as I know, there are zero actual vote tallies available. There are some places reporting the number of ballots by party, but that is not a vote count.

I guess we'll find out more on Tuesday and Wednesday.

8. Miami Cuban/Latino Americans fearing Biden?

Arriving in the U.S. from Dictatorships, and likely especially phobic anti-Socialist/Communistic to start, they may find any hint of such sends them into a panic. So damaged, or innately adverse, to consider anything smacking of Socialism that they will hurt America in my opinion with this hysteria.

And his authoritarianism....you would think if they feared Castro so much that they would recognize those same attributes in Trump
