These were Florida's returned mail ballot totals the day early voting opened. (Monday)

2016: 1.2M

2020: 2.5M

2024: 979K (Three days remaining)

This may indicate that the electorate is returning to pre-COVID form.

If memory serves, Florida had alot of GOP mail in voting before COVID. I wonder if the relative decline compared to 2016 (or at least steady state in a state that has gained 10%+ population in the past 8 years) is due to some former GOP mail voters taking up the party's cause and going in person.

Or not being around to vote anymore? In part because of Covid?

More or less what most figured would happen, no? 2020 was a one-off
