Republicans have traditionally dominated absentee voting in Florida, but this year, Democrats seem to be closing the gap.

Wednesday was the deadline to request a ballot by mail.

Depending on the post office, Friday may be the last day to return a ballot by mail, so it's received by 7:00 PM on election day.

In 2008, Republicans held a 15% edge in absentee voting.

The gap has narrowed to four percent this election cycle.

A total of 2.6 million Floridians have already voted.
