Early and mail-in voting numbers are in for Florida and more than 65 percent of the ballots have been cast. Think about that, two-thirds of the vote is in.

And Sunday alone, the final day for early voting, records were set in Miami-Dade, Broward, Duval, Hillsborough and Orange Counties.

In Broward, more than 44,000 people stood in line to vote early on Sunday. In Miami-Dade, that number was 53,000. That is almost 100,000 people voting in a single day in just Dade and Broward.

There is no one better at breaking down these Florida voting numbers than Steve Schale - who ran Barack Obama's 2008 campaign here in Florida and remains a close observer of voting information.
