According to Politico this past Sunday was the last day for early in-person voting for the state of Florida. Compared to 2012 there were significantly less African-American voters that voted early this year. thirteen percent of Florida is comprised of African-American voters and they typically cast about ninety percent of their ballots as democrats. This year whites and mixed races have casted eighty percent and seventy-six percent of early ballots compared to 2012. Alcee Hastings, a prominent figure in Florida's African-American population, has told Clinton's aide that they need to put more money in the black community. He was told that someone would get back with him but no one did. Bottom line is that the Democratic party has relied heavily on the African-AMerican early vote and since this year it has been really low it allows for the Republicans to hang in the race a little longer.
