Democrats have carved out an early-voting lead in Florida ahead of this Tuesday's election, carrying an advantage of 104,000 ballots cast.
Although Republicans in the state are ahead by 84,000 in absentee ballots, the Democrats' lead of 187,000 in early in-person voting gives them their widest margin yet in overall pre-Election Day voting, according to The Miami Herald.
The lead comes despite efforts by Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) and the state's GOP-led Legislature to try to prevent a repeat of Democrats' early-voting advantage in 2008. A law passed by Republicans eliminated early voting on the Sunday before the election, a day on which President Barack Obama pummeled Sen. John McCain four years ago.
