Does anyone have the purported raw FL early reporting data?

There's someone with a github site that is producing "early voting" numbers in FL by party affiliation, but I have dug far and wide for this data, and I'm not seeing anything. The guy seems to push a JSON file on his github every 20 minutes, but there's absolutely no indication where his numbers are coming from.

Exit polling maybe? But remember with all the people who voted early exit polling isn't really meaningful.

FL won't release any results until polls close at 7 (though there are some areas of the panhandle that close later).

Anyone with numbers didn't get official counts.

While that can be related to votes, it is not in any way definitive. Some voters will vote for candidates not of the party for which they are registered. No count can be done until the ballots are canvassed and tabulated.

We will have no actual voting numbers until the polls close. Ignore the rest, today. It doesn't matter. The people are making their votes known on their ballots. When those are counted, we'll get information we can use.

I believe crossovers are going to surprise a lot of people.

Many Media firms are using his numbers for all the States in their reporting.
