More than twice as many people voted at early voting locations in the past two weeks than those who returned absentee or mail-in ballots.
As of Monday morning, and early voting ended Sunday, with 597.769 people going out to one of the 33 voting locations — mostly libraries — since Oct. 21, according to the number published by the Miami-Dade Elections Department.
That’s about 50K more than the those who cast their ballots by mail or dropped them in drop boxes.
Before early voting began, Democrats were voting in higher numbers, with 115,262 votes cast compared to 79,649 cast by Republicans, which is almost the same as the 72,473 cast by independent voters. But because almost 245,000 Republicans went in person to vote, while Dems got almost 176,000 voters to the polls, they pulled ahead by more than 30,000.

This would be good news for Republican candidates in the constitutional races in Miami-Dade — sheriff, tax collector, supervisor of elections, etc. — except for the NPA voters.
Voters who have no party affiliation have cast 237,745 votes. And everybody knows that NPAs lean Democrat.
The numbers from the Miami-Dade Elections Department also indicate that Democrats have more confidence in mail-in ballots than either Republicans or NPAs.
Election Day is Tuesday.

Voted straight Democrat .
I find out who most Cubans in Miami are voting for and I vote for the opposite candidate as lower political standards I have never seen in the USA from any one group ..
La vergüenza is so engulfing that I tried to leave the Cuban milieu and join other groups but no other group would have me .
Como nos gusta la politica y el domino .

“And everybody knows that NPAs lean Democrat.”
Hmmmm……?!?!
The Democratic Party is an elitist and obscurantist organization, that includes Super Delegates , who don’t answer the voters demands, in the selection of candidates for Major Elected Offices . NPA have been dropping out from both parties for a long time. They value the Independence to form their own judgement about the antithesis of a two party system Today, the mode is to move away from the party in office
“Everybody knows” NPA’s lean Democrat…. May be an assumption that will bear looking into after.
Fascinating data. I wonder what the % lean is among NPAs. If 57% of NPAs break for the Dems and the remaining 43% for the Reps, that would even up the Dem-Rep totals.
As an NPA voter, I mailed my ballot, I was able to verify it.
It doesn’t get any better than that.
