Today was the beginning of early voting in Florida. My wife and I voted(and I worked security at the Courthouse as well), and both of my kids used absentee ballots to vote.
I counted 72 people who voted today in a 6 hour period between 8AM-2PM. My county is small population wise, only about 13,000 plus actual residents with about just over 7000 registered voters. I spoke with the Supervisor of Elections, she told me that so far, with about 10 days left before the general election, that she has received approximately 500+ absentee ballots. She told me that usually, even in the last Presidential election, she only received about 250 absentee ballots, so it appears there is a lot more interest than usual.
Of all the people that voted today, only 8 were minorities.
