25. Broward County

Wed Nov 6, 2024, 12:33 PM

Nov 6

Florida's bluest county had over 80K fewer votes this election than in 2020. I don't believe any Broward resident would believe their vote doesn't matter in a statewide election. While Miami-Dade which has been trending right recently, added more votes this election. Lawrence could be correct about those blue states but I believe it was more widespread than that.
Sad to say, despite the threat to our democracy, some Democrats stayed home, and some voted third party. Maga's divide and conquer won last night.
