Florida has about 1 million more Republican registered voters than Democrats, further cementing its status as a conservative hotbed. Election officials reported over the weekend that there are 5.3 million active Republican voters compared to 4.3 million active Democratic voters.
FILE - People wait in line to vote outside of an early voting site in Miami Beach, Fla., Oct. 20, 2020. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Florida has 1 million more Republican registered voters than Democrats, elections officials revealed, further cementing its status as a conservative hotbed.
The state’s changing political landscape is unusual because of how quickly it became so conservative. In 2020, Democrats held about a 97,000 vote registration edge over Republicans. Since then, there has been a rapid increase in registered Republican voters. But it’s bad news for the state’s Democratic Party, which already suffered massive losses in 2022 with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s 19-point win for his reelection that helped a statewide reddening in traditionally blue counties and local elections. In the lead-up to the November general election, Democrats have clung onto hopes of Florida returning to its swing state reputation.
Nikki Fried, chair of the Florida Democratic Party, called the voter registration edge “empty rhetoric.”
