I haven't been big on FL for a while but I am still surprised Trump is doing almost as well as 2016.

If he wins them by much less than he did then, it's good news for Biden.

(some counties have reported all or most of that) may not be enough to overcome the threshold needed once the same day voting (massively tilted to Trump)

BUT too early to call that as actually happening.

I still am very optimistic for FL.

I mean, I want Biden ahead by 50% already, but no luck.
Matt isbell (FL watcher) seems pleased so far:
Leon (capital city of Florida) - a crushing 67-32 margin - higher than Clinton or Obama. Eday was less blue, but was more D than R. Even a narrowing would still lead to a big margin #flapol

Biden up 9% in Pinellas (which Trump won by 2$). This is an estimated 3/4 of the vote.

Election day is GOP, so that margin will fall, but Biden will take Pinellas

Its about Margins #flapol

I walked away from MSNBC a minute ago and am now watching Classic Doctor Who with Tom Baker. Much more realistic and relaxing!
