FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — More than 1.2 million Florida voters have already cast their midterm election ballots, before the candidates for governor face off in their only debate. It reflects a continuing desire by many to vote from the comfort of their homes, rather than lining up at an early voting center or Election Day polling place.
Democrats, as of Sunday, were ahead of Republicans.
But that doesn’t foreshadow the results and doesn’t give the Democrats reason to cheer or Republicans cause to panic.
