17. Yes, and you're right that it does NOT let the DNC off the hook for neglecting FL's electoral votes

The DNC's neglect became most apparent after the 2000 SCOTUS Bush v Gore ruling against the FL Supreme Court to continue the vote count.

I hear you about the many well earned stereotypes of Florida.
And the nation damn well knows why old folks go there so as not to die from slips on ice in their home states' winters. 75% of the population also lives within 10 miles of the coastline.

You're right. The state has a HUGE non-old demographic. 83% of the state is under age 65. Florida is also a highly urbanized state, with 89 percent of its population living in urban areas in 2000, compared to 79 percent nationally. Over 2/3 of FL's population was born in other states, the second highest in the country in that category.

Thanks for your positive points.
