Here is a wonderful thread on early voting, vote counting and other skullduggery.

How Florida Republicans can use their advantage on election day.
Since Florida begins to count absentee ballots 22 days before the election, they will know exactly how many Republican votes short they will be per county. AND they will know what Republicans still haven't voted.

So count on some heavy telemarketing and arm wrestling to get their reticent voters out at the last minute.

The posts are best read in total at the DUmp link above.  Ms Toad and Hoyt provide some interesting commentary on GOTV.

26. I know one can buy a list of registered voters. But I find nowhere that I can buy a list of people

who voted today from an election board. That's what I am questioning.

27. I don't know the mechanics -

The organization obtained hte lists. I can just tell you that those list are a critical part of GOTV operations I have personally permitted in.

The information is public - I don't know the mechanics of obtaining the lists - but ALL GOTV operations have access to them.

As I indicated. I personally have received lists on election day of individuals who voted prior to the election day, and I personally have reviewed the mid-day lists in order to continue efficient GOTV operations by targeting individuals who have already voted. Those mid-day lists include both advance voting - and day-of voting.

Just because you, an individual with apparently no experience with GOTV operations, can't find the lists doesn't mean that organizations that specialize in this can't find them.

So Star Moron Baitball Blogger thinks Rs will know the vote tally on Election Day but Dems won't?

Damn, that's dumb.  As much as it pains me to give Hoyt any credit for a lucid moment, he's right on that.  Also, any advantage the Rs can glean from the available info, the Ds can too.  Early voting is not a one-party thing, especially in a place like FL where a lot of old folks in both parties would take advantage of it to avoid unnecessary COVID exposure.

DUmmie misspelled a word.  I fixed it.
