Florida has never sent out more military and overseas ballots
Changes to federal and state laws over the last five years have helped to increase the number of ballots being sent to active military and overseas voters to record numbers.
The Florida Division of Elections says more than 73,670 ballots were shipped out last week to those voters. That is a 13 percent increase over four years ago when 65,000 such ballots went out.
Since 2012, every state has agreed to send out military and overseas ballots 45 days in advance of an election to improve the chances those ballots can get to far flung voters and still get back in time to be counted. Florida also now allows military and overseas voters to fax back their ballots on a secure line, rather than risking them not returning fast enough.
The 73,670 ballots may not seem like much in a state in which 12.5 million people are registered to vote. But Florida has had its last two governors races and last presidential election all decided by less than 75,000 votes.

Reaction to article: @ElectProject counter-intuitively this could be good for Clinton since tend to be more overseas citizens (strong D group) than military
I hope the Reddit and Twitter trolls don't find this
Does he know anything outside of our country?
It's amazing this man wants to be president when the main job of the president is foreign affairs, whether they want it to be or not. Foreign relations always becomes the president's main focus.
