Florida GOP flips Miami-Dade in voter registration for first time in history

[RandySF]

Florida Republicans took the lead in voter registration in Miami-Dade County on Monday, flipping what was once considered a Democratic stronghold for the first time in the state’s history.

Republicans made up 464,370 voters, or 34 percent of voters, in the county, while Democrats made up 440,790 voters, or 32.27 percent. Voters classified as “others” made up 460,783 voters, or 33.73 percent.

The updated numbers came after the county completed its off-year voter roll maintenance. According to Decision Desk HQ data science director Michael Pruser, the county shed 172,747 voters from its active rolls. That led to Republicans netting more than 38,000 voters.

While Miami-Dade County has historically leaned Democratic, there have been signs the county has shifted in recent years. Last year, President Trump flipped the county at the presidential level for the first time in 36 years. That win was a part of a slew of wins in the state in November that further cemented the state’s status as a deep-red state.

1. I don't live there

But it seems like Florida is lost to the Dems. I think it would be more beneficial to put time and money into the swing states and maybe N Carolina.
