Florida polls close with Republicans up 591,000 in Election Day ballots

ATTRIBUTED CLAIMS

As most of Florida's polls closed at 7 PM ET, Election Day ballots cast by registered Republicans led those cast by registered Democrats by 21.8 points, according to a live turnout tracker shared by data analyst Michael Pruser (@umichvoter).

Through 6:51 PM ET: 2,718,023 Election Day ballots. Republicans 1,313,242 (48.3%), Democrats 721,537 (26.5%), other 683,244 (25.1%), a lead of 591,705. Pruser estimates the whole electorate, early, mail and Election Day, at about R+8.8.

These are ballots by party registration, not results. The western Panhandle votes until 8 PM ET.
