WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — More than half of US citizens expected to vote in the state of Florida have already cast their ballots, Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner said in a press release on Tuesday.
"As of this morning, reports from the counties show that 3,874,929 voters voted early at the polls and that 2,636,783 vote-by-mail ballots have been cast," Detzner stated. "This represents a turnout of more than 50 percent before Election Day voting had even begun."
