TAMPA, Fla. — Heading into Election Day 2024, more than 8 million Floridians have already cast their ballots — either through early voting or vote-by-mail.
And as of Monday, Republicans are leading Democrats by 844,829 votes, according to data from the Florida Division of Elections.
Here's how it breaks down.

Plus, there are another 1,955,011 votes from people who are either registered to a third party or have no party affiliation.
