Could be just me.

Seems this could motivate deplorables or cause complacency in Dems & Indis.

down in Largo... Drove up, handed it to the volunteer, he checked it for sig and date. He put it in the collection box and I got my sticker. Did not even have to get out of my car... Too simple.

This FDOE site tracks the number of returned and unreturned vote by mail ballots. This information has been reported the same way in previous elections. This site will also track early voting when early voting starts (October 19). Obviously, this reflects votes by party registration, not votes for candidates.

According to the Leon County Supervisor of Elections Early Voting in person does not start until October 19 this year.

These are probably ballots that have been hand-delivered to a polling place (like mine!)...the ballots just went out several days ago.

Mail ballots can be mailed in or hand-delivered to a Supervisor of Elections office. Starting on October 19, mail ballots that have been voted, sealed, and signed can also be delivered to drop boxes at early voting sites. Mail ballots can not be used to vote at a regular polling place on election day. On election day, an unvoted mail ballot can be traded in for an in-person ballot at your polling place (precinct). All returns up to this point are mail ballots- whether mailed or hand-delivered.

The early numbers are awful compared to any other major county. Less than 15% returned, compared to well over 30% for some counties. Granted, Miami-Dade did not mail the absentee ballots until October 1, the last possible day allowed by law. So those ballots were a week behind other counties.

Still, the 14.8% is lower than it should be. The numbers did not change at all from the Saturday update to Monday update. Only 90,000 votes returned. Maybe it's sheer normalcy with a logical explanation. But in such a vital state naturally I'm wondering if the DeJoy shenanigans included targeting specific counties to "lose" ballots:
