Florida voters turned out in high numbers over the weekend as early voting ended for most counties in the lead-up to Tuesday's presidential election and other ballot measures, including proposals on recreational marijuana and abortion rights. By Monday morning, approximately 8.2 million Floridians, or 58.7% of registered voters, had already cast ballots, according to the state's Division of Elections.
A more granular look at how the numbers stack up when split into political parties reveals interesting insights about voter intent among Florida voters, as reported by Tampa Bay Times. Republicans are leading in voter turnout, with 3,538,877 ballots cast, representing 64.3% of registered Republicans. Democratic turnout, though slightly lower, remains significant, with 2,693,779 Democrats voting, or 60.9% of those registered.
