Monday marked the largest single-day turnout in Miami-Dade and Broward counties so far, and throngs of voters continued to flock to South Florida polls Tuesday.
--
The longest lines? Again in heavily black areas, most notably Fort Lauderdale's African-American Research Library. As of 10 a.m., voters were told the wait was roughly three hours to cast a ballot. By early afternoon, Miramar City Hall's estimated time was even longer.

--
The Florida Democratic Party said Tuesday that 53 percent of the nearly 1.2 million early voters were Democrats compared to 30 percent who were Republicans.

Of the 1.1 million absentee ballots returned so far, Republicans have a 49 percent to 35 percent advantage over Democrats, the party said. That adds up to give Democrats an overall 44-39 percent edge in ballots cast.

2. Haha...yeah, I'll donate to pay for parking tickets.

I remember back in June or so David Plouffe talking about how they planned to target Florida. He said they had identified 900,000 already registered black voters that didn't vote in 2004.

Florida = Blue
