Conservatives in Florida! Be principled, vote for Ron DeSantis!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Just saw that Biden just won over 80% of the Dems Abroad vote and took all 13 delegates.

[wbrocks67]

It also looks as if Uncommitted may stay below <10% in WA? Seems like counting has essentially wrapped up there and it's been stuck at 9.9% lol

[Gass3268]

Will be voting in Illinois later this afternoon!

[Eraserhead]

I would think Illinois is the only state that might be even remotely interesting on either side.

Trump protest vote in AZ is worth watching.

Was just gonna say the same thing

Yeah, lots of registered RINOs in AZ; plus, almost everyone is enrolled in vote by mail. Main advantage for Trump is it’s closed, no indies.

Cuyahoga County, OH - turnout as of 2pm (includes absentees)
D 64.4k (62.0%)
R 39.4k (38.0%)

2022 total turnout
D 96k (59.3%)
R 66k (40.7%)

Interested to see where this turns up. Would be interesting if we end up with a D/R share comparable to 2022 by the end, given that both parties had competitive primaries in 2022 and this year its just Rs.

[2016]

Current Projections in Florida:
Ron DeSantis could get between 25,000-50,000 and Nikki Haley about 90,000.
Also, Florida Republicans may fall short of the 1,239,000+ Votes that were cast in the 2020 Republican Presidential Primary.

NYT says

Voters may only vote in the primary of the party they are registered with, but independents may choose a primary in which to participate

The NYT is wrong. It’s open for regular statewide primaries, closed for PPE.

Happy superfluous Tuesday!

At least we have the Ohio Senate primary.

So I guess Uncommitted isn't even an option in Illinois so that won't be interesting on the Democratic side.

Everything but the polls suggests a Joe Biden victory

[Gass3268]

No line in Libertyville, about as many poll workers as total votes I saw from arrival to departure.

[RI]

Florida votes coming in already. DeSantis at 3.6% so far. Running ahead of Haley in some rural counties.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Actually a notable protest vote in Florida. Pretty interesting.

[The Mikado]

So are all the people who constantly go "this is a bad number for Biden" going to weigh in on Trump in Florida?

[RI]

Trump very strong in Miami-Dade and Osceola.

[AncestralDemocrat.]

So are all the people who constantly go "this is a bad number for Biden" going to weigh in on Trump in Florida?

Its a meh number but roughly 420k votes were cast before Haley's exit.. and dems cancelled their primary.  

There's largely criticism of Biden's numbers, rightfully or wrongfully, because he's a incumbent.  

[Ferguson97]

Florida is 50% reporting with less than 20 minutes after the polls closed. How is counting votes the one thing this state is good at? Did 2000 embarrass them enough to get their act together?

And why is the West Coast so bad at it? California is ballot initiative is still too close to call.
