With less than three days before Election Day, Republicans hold an edge in early voting in the pivotal swing state of Florida.

The Associated Press reports that state election officials say that nearly 5.3 million Floridians have voted by mail or at polling precincts. That already exceeds figures from 2012, which was at nearly 4.8 million.

Republicans currently hold an edge of nearly 2,000 votes over Democrats with, nearly 1 million of those voters having registered with no party affiliation.

According to the Republican National Committee, at this point in 2012 presidential election cycle, Republicans were trailing in the Sunshine State by over 75,000 ballots cast.

9 a.m.

The number of early voters in Florida has already exceeded the total from 2012, with voting continuing through the weekend.

State election officials reported Friday that nearly 5.3 million Floridians have voted by mail or at polling precincts. In 2012, the total figure was nearly 4.8 million.

The voting between Republicans and Democrats is just about even with Republicans having an edge of less than 2,000 votes. Nearly 1 million voters registered with no party affiliation have also voted.

Polls indicate a tight race in the state between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump must win the state to have a chance at collecting the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Both candidates have made repeated swings through the state.

Trump will win Florida.
Even if Trump loses Florida, he can still win 270 electoral votes (and of course, the whole election) if he wins the states where Romney lost by the second to sixth narrowest margins four years ago, i.e. New Hampshire (4 electoral votes):

plus the four states (excluding Florida, the state that Romney lost by the narrowest margin of only 0.88%) that I mentioned in another thread of yours:

No. It all goes down to Pennsylvania.
Yes, Pennsylvania happens to be the state where Romney lost by the fifth narrowest margin four years ago:

and its 20 electoral votes can replace Virginia's and Colorado's combined 22 electoral votes, and Trump can still win with a total of 273 electoral votes, instead of the 275 I mentioned earlier:
If Trump wins all the states (206 electoral votes) that the Republican candidate (Mitt Romney) won four years ago:

then he only needs to win the states where Romney lost by the four narrowest margins:

Florida - 29 electoral votes:
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Florida, 2012

Ohio - 18 electoral votes:
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Ohio, 2012

Virginia - 13 electoral votes:
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Virginia, 2012

Colorado - 9 electoral votes:
wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Colorado, 2012

206 + 29 + 18 +13 + 9 = 275
(Trump needs 270 to win, out of 538 electoral votes)
206 (Republican EVs for 2012) + 18 (Ohio) + 13 (Virginia) + 9 (Colorado) + 20 (Pennsylvania) + 4 (New Hampshire) = 270
