Will total votes cast in the 2026 midterm election for Senator from Florida be less than 7,000,000?

The question asks whether total votes cast in the 2026 Florida Senate election will be less than 7,000,000. The only provided article NYT article reports on a campaign event and a poll average showing Republican incumbent Ashley Moody leading by about seven points, but it does not provide any vote totals, turnout estimates, or historical comparisons for Florida Senate elections. Without data on expected turnout, the number of registered voters, or past midterm vote counts, the evidence is insufficient to make a confident call. Florida is a large state with high population, and Senate races there often draw millions of votes; in recent midterms, Florida Senate races have seen totals around 8 million or more (e.g., 2018 had over 8 million votes for Senate). However, midterm turnout can vary, and 2026 is a non-presidential year, which typically lowers turnout compared to presidential years. Given the lack of specific vote projections in the article, I must rely on general knowledge: Florida's Senate races in midterms have historically exceeded 7 million votes (e.g., 2018 had about 8.1 million, 2022 had about 7.8 million). But the article does not confirm any such figures, and the resolution criteria require using the provided articles. Since the article is off-topic regarding vote totals, the evidence is thin, so I stay near 0.5 but lean slightly toward YES (less than 7 million) because midterm turnout in Florida has occasionally dipped below that threshold in some races, and the article's focus on a competitive race with a seven-point lead might suggest a typical midterm turnout, not a record one. Still, without concrete numbers, I cannot be more confident. Thus, a probability of 0.6 reflects a slight lean toward the YES outcome, but with substantial uncertainty due to the lack of relevant data in the article.
