TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Florida's 2008 election makes history, again. This time, Secretary of State Kurt Browning reported a record number of early voters.

According to early estimates, more than 4.2 million voters have cast ballots for the presidential election so far. That number is likely to increase since absentee ballots can't be counted until 7 pm on Election Day tomorrow.

Records indicate more than 2 million voters voted early and more than 1.5 million voters voted absentee. That means at least 38% of Florida registered voters already voted.

"Florida is ready for Election Day," said Browning.

Secretary Browning cautioned Floridians to be patient and expect to wait in lines on Election Day. He expects more than 80% of voters to weigh in this year.
