IF it goes to Biden, and right now it's about a 50/50 chance, but if it goes to Biden, the whole thing is pretty much over. Trump cannot lose Florida and still have a decent chance at the electoral college. He'd have to gain a major surprise victory elsewhere, as well as run all the current battleground states.



So again, it comes down to Florida. Sorry everyone.



I'll say that it seems like good news that there is very high voter turnout so far, as that usually means good things for democrats. However, the latinx population here is surprisingly wary about voting for liberals due to most of them escaping countries where communism or socialism has ruined things there (Cuba, Venezuela). On the other hand, they also hate dictators, so if they are able to recognize that Trump is more of a dictator than Biden could ever dream of being, then they might not be willing to vote for Trump. Toss in the mistreatment of immigrants and you might have just enough to swing the election for Biden.



Honestly, I'd be looking very, very closely at how latinx people are voting in Florida. It may very well decide the entire country's fate.
Yup. I mentioned earlier this week that this segment is probably who I'm most curious about and seeing how they end up voting on Nov 3. As you noted, many are extremely against socialism and Trump has done a good job convincing them that Biden will turn the US into a socialist government. NBC News had a segment on this group a week ago and many they interviewed were voting Trump.
