There have been fewer requests for mail-in ballots in Florida for the 2024 general election than there were in 2020, a trend that could hurt Democrats in the state just as former President Donald Trump is moving to embrace mail-in voting.

In 2020, more than 4.3 million Floridians requested mail-in ballots, far exceeding the only 2 million who have requested them so far this year. The decrease could hurt the already diminished Democratic Party of Florida in what once was a swing state.
