1. Gwen Graham is Florida's next governor.

Love you, Gwen. Her father was such a great public servant.

[oberliner]

19. Gillum is going to defeat her in the primary today

[amuse bouche]

28. It looks like he will take it. I voted for Gwen but won't be mad if Gillum wins.

Last I looked Scott had almost a million votes. I hate that criminal and sure hope he doesn't beat Nelson

[amuse bouche]

32. Gillum won. Congrats to him.

I hope he can pull it off against trumpsantis

2. Bodes very well for Graham.

Have a feeling she's going to win decisively, both tonight and in November.

8. I voted for her Monday before last. nt

11. I spent July 2017 to June 2018 in Florida and wanted to vote for her.

Moved back up to Indiana to be closer to family, so at least I can vote for Joe Donnelly and help out in a swing election.

14. You can still make a difference. nt

20. Gillum closing in on Graham, about to take over the lead

[amuse bouche]

29. I voted for her too but Gillum is now ahead. if she wins, it won't be by much.

3. Go Gwen

Graham/ Gillum maybe?

[Lochloosa]

4. Works for me. I got a nasty mailer about Graham from Philip Levine.

He lost any chance for my vote with that one.

[Blue_true]

10. Would be an excellent ticket. nt

[voteearlyvoteoften]

34. Go Gillum

Gillum / Graham maybe?

[IluvPitties]

5. Anybody not named Ron DeSantis is welcome.

That guy scares me shitless!

[MaryMagdaline]

26. It's good that Putnam lost - absolute worst candidate for clean water

[Scurrilous]

6. K&R

[mcar]

7. I'm one of them!

[NightWatcher]

9. Because us guys wait till the last minute? Voted Gwen today at 3pm

Can't wait to see the turnout.

12. One of them is right here

13. Never vote absentee in FL

They throw out a high percentage of votes based on comparison to your signature on record. You might get a notification if you send it in early enough to "correct" it, but from what I've seen that isn't likely.

15. I wondered about that

This is the first time I voted absentee in this state.

I was very careful with my signature because I notice they are always sticklers about it at the polling sites. Occasionally I have been asked to sign again.

[FL_Jerry]

17. I think there was

a case where the judges ruled against them for that practice. Doesn't seem to have done much good. After the ruling my son's last primary absentee was tossed out by the canvassing board for signature match. I had my signature for the felon rights restoration petition thrown out too for the same reason.

Today when I voted they had me sign on an electronic device which is impossible to match, so they don't seem to care about that too much when in person with your mandatory ID. Trouble is to get the ID you have to have an arsenal of documents...thanks Rick Scott.

The party better start getting people in the streets on the voter suppression, going to court does nothing it seems.

31. I should plan better and not have to wash socks on election nights. Seems it always

happens....

[rockfordfile]

33. that's what Republicans do Florida.

[GulfCoast66]

16. This man voted for her about 3 hours ago.

Look forward to a blue governor in Florida for the first time since Walkin’ Lawton.

[Cha]

18. Thank You!

[oberliner]

21. Hope you are OK with his name being Andrew Gillum

[GulfCoast66]

22. As governor? Of course. I would love it.

But I do not think he has a chance in the General whereas I think Graham can win. I like them both. But I vote strategically. And I think neither would beat Putnam.

Graham’s name and ability proven ability to beat republicans are not valueless. And she is great on the issues. But the voters will decide.

My fear is that if we elect Gillum it will be a case of choosing the perfect over the good in the primary and ending up with nothing in the end. Hope I am wrong.

[oberliner]

23. Fortunately we are going up against DeSantis rather than Putnam

He seems beatable.

[Awsi Dooger]

25. It would be a very rare battle

Two activist candidates

I suspect we'll be seeing more of the same nationwide

[GulfCoast66]

27. I agree. But am not hopeful an unknown mayor from a small city will do it.

And the republicans will tie socialist Bernie around his neck like a dead chicken. Florida is not Vermont. Hard left candidates cannot win. In my opinion. Hope I am wrong. We shall see.

[Awsi Dooger]

24. That's definitely a risk

It is a risk Republicans have been making for a decade or so, with some spectacular failures like Sharron Angle in Nevada but it also produced many wing nuts in the senate and obviously in the White House

[amuse bouche]

30. Putman was way behind Desantis. Can't stand either one
