Florida: Dems erase Repub absentee advantage, now lead Repubs

According to Jeremy Bird, National Field Director:

In the first two days of Florida’s in-person early voting, Democrats have completely erased the Republican advantage in absentee ballots, and now lead Republicans in votes with 1.9 million cast. In 2008, it took Democrats six days to erase the Republican’s historical vote-by-mail advantage; in 2012, according to the AP, it’s taken 48 hours.

That's the message we need to counter with. It sends shivers up and down the reptilian spinal cords of the GOP.
