2012 Election Results - Miami Dade County Early Voting and Absentee Ballots. By Geniusofdespair

MIAMI DADE COUNTY RESULTS FOR EARLY VOTING AND ABSENTEE BALLOTS WILL BE POSTED ABOUT 7:30 PM AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT

Early Voting Combined with Absentee Ballots Results, if the numbers aren't close on LOCAL races you can figure out who is going to win  based on these numbers without looking at the final numbers.  BTW Allen West is losing 49.59% (8.52pm)

You can tell a lot with the early numbers. Remember in the National Races and the State Charter Amendments that these are ONLY Miami Dade county numbers. You must add in the rest of the State.
 
President of the US:

Mitt Romney ab 96,910 early 65, 652 - 162,574

Great news, but don't count any chickens before they are hatched. Remember the most conservative part of the state, the Panhandle, is still voting. The liberal high population centers (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties) are counted first. There is always a last minute bump for Republican candidates.

Wow! It looks like some of those amendments may pass. What margin do they need?

Anonymous said...

Absolutely shocked on those Amendment #'s!?!

Could David Rivera finally be gone!??? Where is Ana Sol Aliegro?

Tennis Center Yes? WTF

I think Tennis Center needs a high percentage vote. How much on that one?

Shame on Miami Dade for not being able to run an efficient election! Gov. Scott, you too will be held accountable at the polls!

Anonymous said...

I think it is deliberate. Part of the GOP plan to suppress the vote.

Congrats Jose Javier. No more Adlp!!!

Have they released a turnout rate for Miami-Dade County yet?

Oh Yeah. Forward & Peace.

Miami-Dade's elections department is once again the nation's laughingstock. Surely you still cant be defending Townsley.

Ohio is making the call. Florida is out of the picture. But it looks like Obama will also win Florida. Romney not willing to concede?

Geniusofdespair said...

12:30pm all the precincts have still not been counted in Miami Dade. Solomon and Hancock are losing but not by much. Alan West is also losing last time I looked. Rivera is history. A good night.

Geniusofdespair said...

All the precincts have not been counted/reported so I don't know if what they have posted is final. They say there are 735 of 829 precincts reporting. They say there was a 60.85% turnout. That is hard to believe since the turnout in 2008 was 70.05%. I would have thought this turnout was higher. Maybe it is not the final turnout?? Maybe they need those last precincts to compute it.

Ross said...

Where the Hancock/Fresen race is: we are down 1300 votes but will close that margin when Centennial precincts (where I spent the day) in Cutler Bay report tomorrow -- there are 7 or 8000 voters in those precincts and we did about 2 to 1 ratio in the adjacent precincts. But then there are more ABs to count, so it will be a squeaker no matter what.

miami-dade is a national joke. every network commented that miami-dade could not finish the count and went home to sleep. we are an embarrassment. townsley needs to be fired.

Final voter turnout in Miami Dade County is 67.36%
