WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the U.S. presidential race (all times EDT):
8:40 a.m.
About 1.6 million Floridians have already voted in this year’s crucial election.
New numbers released Tuesday by the state Division of Elections show nearly 300,000 voters went to early voting sites Monday, the first day it was offered in 50 counties. Another 1.3 million voters have mailed in ballots.
Florida is a battleground state and the start of early voting has prompted Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton to sweep through the state.
