Democrats won every county on I-4 in Florida on day one of early voting. That and more in today's early vote memo: http://steveschale.squarespace.com/blog/2016/10/25/early-voting-in-florida-day-one.html
Here are some interesting places on day one:
Won Duval County by 1,700 votes. Duval hasn't voted for a Democrat for President since Carter, and is one of those places where Trump really needs to run up the score. Dems also won the day in Polk County, an I-4 county that also hasn't voted for a Democrat since Carter.
Won Volusia County by several hundred, again a place that Trump was hoping to build on the gains of Romney in 2012.

Lots of Dems eager to vote in FL. Hopefully that enthusiasm continues for the next 14 days.

My formatting sucks, but I think it's readable.

(24,650 posts)7. I do like that the DEM and OTH numbers total higher than REP
But still predict this area to go for Trump. Nauseating.
