Democrat Turnout Rose Through Day in Miami-Dade

[marmar]

(Bloomberg) Democrats’ Election Day turnout appeared to increase over the course of the day in Florida’s largest county.

In Miami-Dade County’s 11 a.m. update, Democrats led in-person voting by just about 2 percentage points, 34.7% to 32.4%. By 5 p.m., they were up by more than 6 percentage points, 36.1% to 29.7%, according to figures released by Robert Rodriguez, a Miami-Dade elections spokesman. (About 32.6% were listed as No Party Affiliation, and 1.6% were listed as “Other.”)

Democrats typically dominate presidential politics in Miami-Dade County, and they tend to cast many more mail-in and early votes there. But across the county, analysts had projected the Election Day vote would probably favor Republican President Donald Trump. The county’s population is roughly 2.7 million people. – Jonathan Levin

2. "Democrat"

No biggie, but it’s “democratic”, not “democrat”. Let’s not let the republithugs define our name.
