Since October 21, I worked nine of the thirteen days for Lake County’s Early Voting. It was extremely busy, from 10 to 6 each day.
We averaged thirteen hundred or more each day, with no day less than a thousand or so. By Wednesday, there was no less than fourteen hundred and on Friday and Saturday, the count approached seventeen hundred each day.
By Saturday night, 62% of all Lake County registered voters had voted, either by mail, or in greater numbers, in person. This coincides with the 58% of all registered voters in Florida who have already cast their ballots.
These numbers, in any election, would be historic at the end of voting on Tuesday. But we still have Tuesday ahead of us, which will just increase these numbers.
As I said in my commentary yesterday, The Most Controversial, Contentious, Compelling and Consequential Election, we are in for one wild ride over the next couple of days. I fully expect, here in Florida at least, to see the total votes cast surpass 85% of all registered voters.
And when all is said and done, I pray we will not have a repeat of the mess that happened in the days following the election in 2020. We truly deserve better.
There will be no commmentary tomorrow, but I look forward to writing my next one, with my hope it turns out as I have predicted.
