In 2018, registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans by about 250,000 voters. Today, Republicans outnumber Democrats by more than 1.5 million voters.
In that time frame, the Florida population has increased by approximately 2 million people, with a net migration to the state of approximately 1.5 million in the 8 years.
Is Florida now only a Republican paradise?
