But is increasing during the day.

850 election judges called in to say they were not coming. Last week the Governor offered to provide National Guard to staff polls for the city board of elections, and told them 2000 young “Mikvah Challenge” volunteers were ready, but both were declined!

Also 200 polling places were changed. It’s kind of a hot mess I guess. Glad I early voted last week.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

538 said they expect Fla turnout to be around the same as 2016 from what they have seen. sunonmars Mar 2020 #4

Interesting. I'll bet they are including absentees. Funtatlaguy Mar 2020 #5
