I don't want to bury the lede:

@FlaDems have outregistered the @FloridaGOP in cycle to date.

The @FLSecofState released book closing numbers for the 2020 cycle to date. And for the first time we have an accurate read of registered voters in the state. #FlaPol Thread (2/5)

All year, news outlets ran stories @FloridaGOP was out-registering @FlaDems. But they were using incomplete data.

Now, for first time, we have full picture w/ all data. Dems have a 280,000 registration edge over @FloridaGOP. It was 263,000 in 2018. #FlaPol
