Election Day’s Top Trending Google Search: ‘Where to Vote’ in Spanish

According to experts, Trump's repeated insults and bullying haven't had the effect of pushing Latinos toward the Democrat party -- rather they have driven them from voting at all

By Tom Ciccotta

According to a report from The Hill, the top trending Google search on election day was “Dónde votar,” Spanish for “where to vote.” According to Google, the search term increased 3,350 percent today.

Google searches for “Dónde votar” spiked 3,350 percent today, as polling locations around the country opened their doors for midterm election voting. “Dónde votar,” which literately translates to “where to vote,” primarily saw an increase in searches on Monday afternoon, as voters began to prepare plans to get to the polls.

A trend graph for the search term shows that it spiked in traffic throughout Monday but fell flat by Tuesday morning. Despite the drastic spike in search entries for the Spanish phrase, the phrase was searched significantly less on Monday than its English counterpart, “where to vote.”

According to the report, the search spike coincides with historic highs in voter enthusiasm amongst Latinos. The report argues that certain hot-button issues like immigration have increased Hispanic interest in voting in this midterm election cycle.

The report also claims that Hispanic voters will play a crucial role in states like Florida, where Democrat Andrew Gillum is facing Republican Ron DeSantis in a contested gubernatorial contest.

By Sundance

This is a little bit more than alarming. Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum’s staff is recorded on video making stunning racial and derogatory epithets toward Florida residents/voters. This is terrible; Florida deserves better.

…”Florida is a “F***ed up,” “cracker state,” “you have to appeal to white guilt”…

(Tallahassee) Project Veritas Action Fund has released undercover video from Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum’s campaign, revealing his election strategy includes making empty promises to voters. This is the seventh undercover video report Project Veritas has released in a series revealing secrets and lies from political campaigns in 2018.  (continue reading)

Florida Rallies: Trump-DeSantis Speak to 8,300, Bernie-Gillum Speak to 200-300

President Donald Trump‘s rally on Wednesday night in Fort Myers for Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott packed the Hertz Arena to the brim whereas Bernie Sanders and Andrew Gillum struggled to fill half the floor of the CFE Arena during their competing rally held earlier in the day.

The Hertz Arena has a capacity of 8,284:

If previous rallies were any indicator, thousands were likely turned away at the door.

On the other hand, Bernie Sanders and Andrew Gillum didn’t fill a single seat at their much smaller rally at the University of Central Florida:

It appears they put up giant black curtains to cut off at least half of the stadium, which can hold around 9,500-10,000, but since they only had 200-300 people show up they still couldn’t fill the place.

This picture from WFTV reporter Field Sutton was taken 20 minutes after the rally was supposed to start:

“Floor is full. Seats are empty,” Sutton said in a follow-up tweet in response to someone laughing at the small crowd size. “I have no idea how many people that translates into.”

As The American Mirror reported last week, Sanders’ rally crowds are “down 90 percent” from 2016.

Despite the huge difference in turnout, Republicans should not become complacent. Democrats bus their voters to the polls and entice them with taco trucks to get out and vote.

Trump only won Florida by around 110,000 votes and Democrats have been working hard to get the least informed voters possible to the polls.

Watch President Trump’s full hilarious and entertaining Florida rally below and make sure to get out and vote no matter where you are:

JUST IN: Shots fired into Republican Party office in Florida!

Thankfully no one was hurt. But volunteers showed up to the Volusia County Republican Party satellite office this morning to find the front windows broken out and four bullet holes in the office:

ORLANDO SENTINEL – At least four shots were fired into the Volusia County Republican Party’s office in South Daytona, police said Monday.

No one was injured, according to South Daytona police Capt. Mark Cheatham, but the shooting broke the offices’ front window and caused some damage to the drywall inside.

Cheatham said a volunteer reported the incident on Monday, which could’ve happened between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning at the office located at 2841 South Nova Road.

No eyewitnesses have been identified and investigators are in the process of tracking down surveillance footage from neighboring businesses, Cheatham said.

Here’s more from the Volusia County Republican chair on what happened:

I don’t know if this has been on the big TV newsers this morning, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc, but my suspicion is that it hasn’t been since no one was hurt.

It’s just a shame that all this crap is happening up against he last week before election day, when many are already voting.

GOT HIM? SUSPECT IN CUSTODY

Capture

By Zachary Fagenson

MIAMI, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Federal authorities arrested a person on Friday in connection with at least a dozen parcel bombs sent this week to Democratic politicians and high-profile critics of U.S. President Donald Trump, the U.S. Justice Department said.

The person was taken into custody in the Miami area, a U.S. law enforcement official said. The investigation into this week’s wave of suspicious packages focused on southern Florida and a mail sorting facility in the area.

The U.S. Justice Department will hold a news conference at 2:30 p.m. EDT. (1830 GMT), a department spokeswoman said.

Citing an unnamed source, cable network MSNBC said the suspect was a man in his 50s. CNN said the arrest was made in Plantation, a city near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Reuters could not immediately confirm those reports.

No one claimed responsibility for parcel bombs, which were denounced by authorities as terrorism, and came less than two weeks ahead of U.S. congressional elections that could alter the balance of power in Washington.

Police found two of the suspicious packages on Friday addressed to U.S. Senator Cory Booker and James Clapper, the former U.S. director of national intelligence, officials said.

The 11th package was addressed to Booker, a Democratic senator from New Jersey, and was discovered at a mail sorting facility in Florida, the FBI said. A 12th package was addressed to Clapper at cable network CNN and was intercepted at a New York City post office, a federal law enforcement official said.
