More strategic thinking from Bloomberg — he wants to eliminate trump’s ability to say he won on election night by denying him a critical 29 electoral votes. washingtonpost.com/politics/bloom…
“Bloomberg’s aim is to prompt enough early voting that a pro-Biden result would be evident soon after the polls close. Florida, unlike other swing states, reports almost all early ballots shortly after voting ends.

“but the numbers turn more Democratic over time as more mail-in and early votes are added to the tally.
“ ‘It would give lie to what we expect to be Trump’s election night messaging that Democrats are stealing the election, because unlike other battleground states, Florida counts its absentee ballots on or by Election Day,’ Bloomberg adviser Howard Wolfson said.
“ ‘We think Florida is incredibly close but winnable.’ “
