MORE THAN A 100 MILLION
AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY MADE

AS SOME STATES COULD TAKE DAYS
TO COUNT ALL
THOSE BALLOTS. SO JOINING US

ANALYSIS ON THE RACE’S IN

2020 IS UCF A STORY IN A NEW
6 POLITICAL EXPERT DOCTOR JIM
CLARK. JIM, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US ONCE AGAIN. ALL
RIGHT. SO THE FIRST THING WE
WANT TO ASK YOU IS WHAT YOU
THINK OF THE TURNOUT THIS YEAR
AND WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT YOUNG VOTERS,
MINORITIES PANIC VOTERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE
IT’S BEEN FOR EXAMPLE, WE JUST
LEARNED
THAT UCF.
>> THE POLLING PLACE THEIR HAND
OVER A 100% TURNOUT YOUNG
PEOPLE DON’T VOTE IN
PARTICULARLY PERCENTAGE IS.
BUT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
EVERYONE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CENTRAL FLORIDA. ALL THE
STUDENTS GOING OUT AND VOTING
TODAY. LITTLE BIT LATER WE’LL
SEE THE RESULTS FROM OSCEOLA
COUNTY. WE’LL FIND OUT PUERTO
RICAN VOTERS VOTED IN THE
NUMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATS WERE
HOPING FOR. BUT GENERALLY
SPEAKING, THIS IS GOING TO BE A
RECORD SETTING YEAR. WE’RE
GOING TO IN FLORIDA. WE’RE
GOING TO INCREASE OUR TOTAL
OVER
4 YEARS AGO BY MORE THAN A
MILLION VOTES. THAT’S AN
AMAZING NUMBER, OK, SO JIM
EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON. WHEN
YOU SAY YOUNG VOTERS ARE
TURNING OUT IN THOSE NUMBERS.
WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN?
BECAUSE WHEN YOUNG VOTERS TURN
OUT,
WHAT HAPPENS.
>> GENERALLY SPEAKING, THEY
HAVE GONE DEMOCRATIC. THAT’S
BEEN THE THE HISTORY OF THE
PRECINCT
THAT UCF. WE’LL FIND OUT IN
JUST A LITTLE WHILE. WHAT THAT
FOR THIS YEAR. BUT
CHEERFUL NEWS FOR THE DEMOCRATS
RIGHT NOW. YEAH. WHEN DO YOU
THINK THIS IS THE WHAT YOUR
CRYSTAL MAGIC AND I WANT TO
HOLD YOU TO WHEN DO YOU THINK
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE WILL BE
CALLED IN FLORIDA BECAUSE THIS
COULD BE EARLIER THAN A LOT
OF PEOPLE THINK POSSIBLY.
YEAH, I THINK IT’S GOING TO
BE FAIRLY EARLY. REMEMBER ALL
THOSE BALLOTS OVER WHAT
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF THEM
ARE ALREADY COUNTED. AND AS
ALAN HAYS, THE ELECTIONS
SUPERVISOR. IN LAKE COUNTY SAID
LAST NIGHT
CHANNEL 6. IT’S 7. ’05, HE’S
GOING TO PUSH THE BUTTON AND
RELEASE ALL OF THOSE
NUMBERS. SO. BY 7, 15, 7.20,
WE’RE GOING TO KNOW HOW WAKE
COUNTY VOTED WILL KNOW HOW
ORANGE COUNTY VOTED.
SO AT LEAST IN THE EASTERN PART
OF THE STATE. IT’S GOING TO
BE OVER QUICKLY. REMEMBER
PENSACOLA IS IN A DIFFERENT
TIME ZONE. THEIR POLLS CLOSED
ABOUT AN
HOUR LATER.
>> ALL RIGHT. JEN, SO
EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, IS TALKING
ABOUT THE TOP OF THE TICKET.
BUT THERE ARE DOZENS OF OTHER
BIG RACES UP FOR GRABS ALL
ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. WHICH
ONES WILL YOU BE WATCHING
CLOSELY TONIGHT.
>> I A COUPLE OF
THINGS UP. ONE IS THE STATE
SENATE RACE IN
SEMINOLE VOLUSIA, WHICH IS BEEN
EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND
EXTREMELY NASTY. THE DEMOCRATS
THINK THEY HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF TAKING CONTROL OF THE THE
STATE SENATE. SO WE’LL SEE IF
THAT PLAYS INTO THAT. OTHERWISE
WE’LL BE LOOKING THE OSCEOLA
SHERIFF’S RACE OF WILL
CERTAINLY PRODUCE A NEW SHERIFF
FOR OSCEOLA COUNTY. SO THERE
ARE A NUMBER
LOCAL RACES. AND DON’T FORGET
THE THE AMENDMENTS ARE
THE MINIMUM WAGE SO I THINK
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
FOLLOWING THAT. REMEMBER, WE
HAVE A
FLORIDIANS, MANY OF THEM HERE
IN CENTRAL FLORIDA WHO MAKE
MINIMUM WAGE AND IF THE PASSES
THEY WILL GET A PAY RAISE.
YEAH. JIM CLARK.
