Ex DNC Chair on Trump’s Claim He’ll Win Fla.: He ‘Continues to Live in His Own Alternate Universe’

‘If you look at the numbers, in terms of voter registration and adding voters to the rolls, Democrats have eclipsed Republicans in new registrants consistently all the way up to the extended deadline October 18th’

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "You know, Florida is always close and we run elections here as Democrats like where 10 points behind. Donald Trump clearly continues to live in his own alternate universe. If you look at the numbers, in terms of voter registration and adding voters to the rolls, Democrats have eclipsed Republicans in new registrants consistently all the way up to the extended deadline on October 18th. And, Wolf, typically in Florida, Republicans, in vote by mail, in the absentee balloting, they usually out-vote us pretty consistently. In fact, at the same point in 2012 where we're at right now, Republicans had returned five percent more absentee ballots than Democrats. We've actually closed that gap to 1.7 percent and we have equaled them in absentee ballot requests. Today, with the second day of early voting, we are likely to actually have surpassed them in the number of votes banked and cast. And we've also been able to increase the registrants who are most likely to go to the polls and vote for Democratic candidates."
