Florida’s Election Day is a Week Away, but as of this morning, 1.265 million Floridians have already voted. Details:

As I’ve noted, as of this morning:

15.1% of the state’s registered 4.56m Republicans have voted absentee and early in-person ballots.  Around 14.5% of the 511k Hispanics registered as Republicans have cast ballots and 15.5% of the 3.81m white Republicans have voted.

On the Democratic side, 10.8% of the state’s 5.033m registered Democrats have cast early in-person and absentee ballots. Roughly 7.3% of the state’s 1.44m black Democrats, 7.2% of the 757.3k Hispanic Democrats, and 14.2% of the state’s 2.56m white Democrats have voted.

What about Millennials?

Of the roughly 2.31m registered voters under 30 in Florida, 2.3% have voted thus far. Contrast that with the 18.5% turnout of registered voters 60 and over.

Of the 578.0k registered Republicans under 30, 3.9% have voted.

Of the 847.5k registered Democrats under 30, 3.3% have voted.

The reason why voting among the under-30 crowd in Florida is so low is because some 819k voters under the age of 30 are registered as No Party Affiliate, and thus are excluded from the parties’ primaries.

Why Hispanics have little clout in the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries in Florida

Because nearly 687.7k Hispanics registered in Florida are registered as No Party Affiliate (NPA) or 3rd party registrants. That’s roughly 35% of the nearly 1.988m registered Hispanics in Florida.

Sure, the 511k Hispanic Republicans and 757.3 Hispanic Democrats make up a decent share of each party’s registrants (11% and 15%, respectively). But each of these pales in comparison to Hispanics comprising 21% of the state’s 3.254m NPAs.

So, Hispanics may hold considerable sway in the Sunshine State’s General Elections (when they turn out), but not in the major party’s nomination process.
