"Worth noting that Trump won the County by 1% in 2016, or a total margin of 5,500 votes across around half a million cast.
That 10% shift would at that level of turnout a gain of 50,000 votes for Biden, except we know the turnout will be up significantly.
For what it is worth, that should give folks some confidence about Florida."
We polled bellwether #Pinellas County, Florida one last time.
Trump won Pinellas +1% (5,419 votes) in 2016.

final numbers:
@JoeBiden

(10,788 posts)He's saying Trump needs 67% minimum, or he's in trouble in the state.
He just tweeted this:
Sumter Co., FL has cast 83,592 early votes (79% turnout, by far the highest in the state). Breakdown:
GOP: 49,094 (59%)
Dem: 19,799 (24%)
NPA/Other: 14,699 (17%)
Sumter's Election Day turnout as of 11am:
GOP: 2,676 (65%)
Dem: 633 (16%)
NPA/Other: 788 (19%)
Looks like he'll need 100% Republican votes and 1/2 of the Independents to meet that benchmark. I'm not sure that's gonna happen. We'll see what the indies do...

(28 posts)I have been tracking Pinellas all morning. Here is what I am seeing so far:
* collecting data from https://tqv.vrswebapps.com/?state=FL&county=pin (data is refreshed every 10 minutes)
* on a minute/minute basis Republican ballots are beating Dem ballots by a rate of 1.5-2 to 1. This has improved for Dem since early morning. It was even more tilted towards republicans early on 2.5-3 to 1
* Republicans are currently up by 970 and they made up more than 9000 ballot lead the Dem had

(21,914 posts)They will break for Biden.

(18,742 posts)This writer is assuming they split 50-50 today. Trump needed 1/2 million or so more Republicans to vote today than Dems, he's not on track to come close to that.
