Early voting begins in Florida, a battleground state that could decide the November 3 US presidential election
Voters fill out their ballots as they vote at the Stephen P Clark Government Center polling station in Miami, Florida, October 19, 2020.
In Miami, Aldo Rodriguez, 62, lined up early and waited in heavy rain to cast his ballot for Democrat Joe Biden over President Donald Trump.Biden "knows pretty much how the country was running and hopefully he’ll get it back the same way it was," Rodriguez said. “No fighting against any colours or races, we are all the same. ... We shouldn’t have this bickering.”
"We should be able to do the most that we are allowed to do, as long as we aren’t infringing on anybody’s rights or liberties," Versch said.With 29 electoral votes, Florida is crucial to both candidates but especially Trump, who moved his official residence to his Palm Beach estate Mar-a-Lago from New York last year.
Under state law, counties can offer up to two weeks of early voting and many do, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and other population centres. Despite his recent recovery from his own bout with the virus, Trump mocked Biden for his cautious approach toward the pandemic. "Things are getting worse, and he continues to lie to us about circumstances," said Biden, who will debate Trump for a final time on Thursday in Nashville, Tennessee.
