Early Voting Kick Off
October 18th, 2010 by flanewsRepublicans and Democrats are entering their last push to get voters to the polls.
Early voting began today and will continue through the next two weeks. The Florida Democrats held a rally at their headquarters today and afterward marched a group of 30 to the polls in Tallahassee to vote. Democrat for Agriculture Commissioner Scott Maddox says early voting gives everyone a chance to get involved.
“It’s difficult for voters to get to the polls on Election Day. Early voting gives people who work for a living an opportunity to vote over a week period rather than just on one day,” said Maddox.
At the Republican Party headquarters employees and volunteers readied flyers and posters for statewide distribution. Republican spokesman Dan Conston says the excitement among GOPers is building.
“We’ve just seen an incredible amount of enthusiasm across Florida for Republican candidates and you know we feel very good about where we are going to be in November,” said Conston.
Also, the latest voter registration statistics were released today. There are now four million, forty thousand registered Republicans in Florida, trailing the four million 630-thousand registered Democrats in Florida.
