Republicans in Florida turned out to vote at the polls in higher numbers than Democrats early Tuesday, one analyst said.
David Wasserman, the House Editor for The Cook Political Report, tweeted that GOP voters are winning the numbers game in the Sunshine State based on their voter registration information.
"Not that it can tell us who will win, but its 7:30am and the Election Day vote in FL is already *much* more Republican than the early/mail vote," he wrote in one tweet.
He said in a follow-up post, "It's not like this is unexpected, and it's an important reminder that we're going to see unprecedented partisan polarization between the early/mail batches and the Election Day batches tonight."
He wrote in another post, "For those of you who are saying 'oh, it's just one county…' actually no, this pattern is consistent across pretty much every FL county almost an hour in. And the fact Broward Co. is an EDay Dem-GOP tie so far is consistent w/ a strong GOP EDay overperformance vs. early vote."
He added, "Also keep in mind: the Election Day share of the overall FL electorate is going to be historically low this year b/c 62% of registered voters already cast ballots before EDay polls opened."
According to RealClearPolitics, Biden had a slim lead of 0.9 percentage points over Trump in Florida heading into Tuesday.
