In reply to the discussion: Ooof. As of this morning, 300k more Republican ballots returned than Democrat (FLORIDA) [View all]grantcart
(53,061 posts)31. Election offices update who has voted (in person or by mail) daily
Registration shows party affiliation if any.
News organizations and political parties have staff that update it daily.
This is how the local party knows who to call to help get them to the polls.
They don't know how they voted, just who voted.
It's also a good reason to mail in your ballot as early as possible, it reduces the work for the GOTV teams
