Black voters in Florida lagging in election in early and mail voting
Nov 04, 2024
Black voters — especially men — turned out in low numbers in Florida before Election Day, in a year with a choice between the first female presidential candidate of color and a Republican who has struggled with substantially negative perceptions by Black Americans. Statewide, 48% of 1.78 million voters who identified as Black submitted mail ballots or visited polling places for early voting, compared to 61% of 8.51 million active white voters, according to a new analysis of government turnout data through the end of early voting Sunday.
