8. I hope nothing screwy is going on in Miami-Dade

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:
