Related: About this forumFlorida: Dems erase Repub absentee advantage, now lead Repubs
According to Jeremy Bird, National Field Director:
In the first two days of Floridas 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 Republicans historical vote-by-mail advantage; in 2012, according to the AP, its taken 48 hours.

I love this. There is so much we don't know and cannot control but this kind of information just warms the cockles!

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