As voters trickle to the polls on Tuesday, the highest turnout so far is from the county of Palm Beach — where former President Donald Trump resides.

Of the 67 counties in Florida, the election day turnout shows 16,416 votes at about noon in Palm Beach County, according to the Florida Division of Elections.

Trump has already clinched the delegates needed for the GOP nomination, but Floridians can cast votes for six other candidates, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, during the Republican presidential primary election on Tuesday. (Those candidates have suspended their campaigns.)

In second place: Brevard County, on the Space Coast, on the Atlantic side of the peninsula. The turnout there was at 7,934.

The third place: Orange County, in Central Florida’s Orlando area. The turnout there was at 6,014. But just recently, Pinellas County, at 6,892, now has more votes than Orange.

The numbers are moving fast now. Of all the counties, the turnout had been 139,501 around noon. But now it’s at 156,529.

The state Division of Elections is continuing the turnout throughout the day, so the numbers will continue to change.

So far, Republican vote-by-mail stats show 520,198.

For early votes, the figure is 220,420.
