They put results under the chyron's but you have to watch the screen to see them. I just play it in the background.

All virus, all the time.

C;mon guys. You've had months for that. Give a few minutes to the elections.

amidst the biggest blue wave in 50 years. Unreliable. Like 2016, 2004, 2000 - never there when you need them.

I've never got over 2000. It's unreasonable to hold a grudge - but the butterfly ballot, chads and the court cases left an indelible mark. I wish Democrats (with that D after their name) well, in every state, including Florida of course. I just never want to go through another election hanging on the results in FL.

No it hasn't. So who in their right mind would depend on FL to win in 2020.

20. Florida is a heck of a lot more winnable than states like Texas or Georgia

Same with North Carolina. Same with Ohio. All of those states have above 40% self-identified conservatives. Florida doesn't even reach 40% conservatives during midterm years, let alone presidential years which are a younger and more liberal electorate.

We have been outmaneuvered in Florida. I have posted that countless times including a lengthy post tonight. Florida is a tricky state due to so much variance from area to area and among the Hispanic electorate. Our outreach is lousy and we consistently fall behind on Spanish media.

It's always minimizing and not maximizing. It drives me nuts when somehow we think the final months are plenty of time to prioritize while the other side is active all year every year.

Biden has a big chance in Florida since the senior citizen demographic is changing in our favor anyway, plus Biden has particular strength among that block. My 77 year old aunt is an example. She is considering Biden after being gung ho Trump in 2016, switching from Obama.

Regardless I'm sure I'll be reading plenty of misplaced optimism toward Georgia and Texas while Florida is ridiculed.

2018 is an excellent example of that. Never been fixed. The butterfly ballot gave us W. 20 years later the systems are not secure. If it is close, the results will miraculously swing over to the GOP side of the line. The Democratic Party would be insane to rely on Florida. The last thing I want is having to wait on the FL result to know the outcome of the GE. FL is a bonus. Nothing more.
