Daily Kos: Great News! Florida is now starting to see a surge of African American and Hispanic earl

I know some folks are worrying, so this will be welcome news.

Folks in Florida are slowly, but surely, getting out to vote. We still have work to do, but this is great news from Steve Schale for Hillary and Team D!

Keep working. Keep making calls! If we do, we will win Florida and this election!

Through Mon's votes, share of the FL electorate that is black (African American & Hispanic) is now 11.7%, and growing. 1/

1. I definitely recommend checking out Steve Schale's twitter page...

He had an 11 tweet tweetstorm today that explained some of what's happening in FL right now and it definitely lifted my electoral spirits. (7 more days until this damn thing is over).

2. I agree...

I have been following him and I feel a little better. Also following Jon Ralston for Nevada. Wish I had someone to follow for North Carolina.

7. Sounds right

Maybe African Americans will alter vote timing this cycle. Not as enthused and quick to early vote like with Obama, but eventually showing up in decent numbers for Hillary.

8. They will come, it will match to 13.9% with comes out in latest 2015 census.

Historically AA votes have trended to census, 2008 and 2012 was historical elections for them.

in 2012 they hit 16.3% in FL.... But we now have 40% uptick in Hispanic votes until yesterday.
