FYI
The George Soros’ voter fraud army thanks you for your detailed analysis...
This is good stuff. Any huge changes for active voters or registrations?
Lets hope a lot of those Pinellas democrats vote for Trump
Not the old fuddies who think he’s “rude” but maybe the real thinkers
I live in Pinellas, and I can tell you that Pinellas is more red than you think. The problem is that most of the people who would vote red don’t go to the polls. We are actively trying to get more people to the polls, and yesterday’s primary vote tells me it’s working.
Voter turnout was incredible yesterday. By some accounts it was as high as 25% which is unheard of in a primary. Sadly, David Jolly still won in district 13 despite one Hell of a good guy in his challenger Mark Bircher.
You have correctly identified that a state as large and diverse as Florida (#3 nationally) is controlled by the counties along the I-4 corridor - from Tampa to Daytona including Orlando. North Florida is very blue. South Florida is just as red. It all comes down to the little strip in the middle.
I would be very curious to see the effect on the state and national elections if we went to elections based on Congressional districts rather than the winner-take-all system we have in most states, Nebraska and Maine being the exceptions. This would dramatically alter the calculus of winning the electoral college vote, but level the playing field in ways that would make all votes more meaningful. As it is now, Republican voters in California and New York have no voice. Similarly, Democrats in Texas and Wyoming, to name just a few examples. I am very aware that this would require acquiescence of the individual states. Your thoughts, please.
Pinellas has about 153,000 registered independent voters (registered as party choice = none). Last figures I saw for Fla. was Trump was up 44% to 30% among independents statewide. If that figure holds to election day then the odds look good for Trump.
