Original Note:
Florida is one of the few states which start counting mail-in votes as soon as they arrive. In contrast, Pennsylvania law requires the vote count to commence on election day. In 2022, mail-in votes made up the majority of votes in Florida, which explains the discrepancy. https://ballotpedia.org/When_states_can_begin_processing_and_counting_absentee/mail-in_ballots,_2022 https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/investigates/how-florida-counts-votes-so-fast-compared-to-other-states
