5,940, 645. if you look over here to the left, those computers right there, that s where they re taking some of the votes that were early voted and they fed them into the machines. they re verifying the votes. they re not tabulating. nobody has any idea who is ahead or behind in those who have voted in the state of florida. the clerks here you see right now are busy doing what they need to do to get the finalization together. and because so many people are curious about this state, it looks like ultimately those independent voters may be the ones who determine the very hotly contested governor s race as well as the senate race. that s because in early voting 40.1% of those who voted republican, 40.5% are democrats. so it s basically a split which leads in the early votes now. those who have voted 18.8 % who have no party affiliation
certainly has an impact on voters. now, remember. when we re looking at those who have early voted in the state of florida, we have a record number of early voters. 5 million i have written it down and tried to memorize it. 5,094,645 early voters at the polls and when you break it down by the party affiliations, assuming people are following their party affiliation, 40.1%, republicans and 40.5% which are democrats so let s break it down a little bit more now and take a look first at the republican candidate, ron desantis out of nowhere with the endorse. of president trump that took him through the primaries to where he is right now. and if those voters who believe in donald trump are motivated to go to the polls and that s the big question, it may be that he does get the votes he needs. however, one of the big questions that both republicans
