Florida Republicans are on the verge of achieving a one million voter registration advantage over Democrats in the state, with just 60,000 more registered voters needed to reach the milestone.
“Today, and it will probably be fully publicized very soon, today for the first time in the history of Florida, we’ve now overtaken Democrats,” he said during that November press conference. “There are more registered Republicans in Florida than Democrats.”
This gap has only grown over the past two years, as documented by Truth Voices:
FROM THAT MOMENT ON, REPUBLICANS HAVE ONLY CONTINUED TO EXPAND THEIR LEAD, TOPPLING DEMOCRATS BY MORE THAN 100,000 MERE MONTHS LATER, IN MARCH 2022. THAT FIGURE DOUBLED TO 200,000 IN JULY, AND IN DECEMBER 2022, THE FIGURE STOOD AROUND 350,000. IN FEBRUARY 2023, REPUBLICANS OUTNUMBERED DEMOCRATS BY 400,000 REGISTERED VOTERS, AND THAT FIGURE SWELLED TO 680,030 AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2023, WITH REPUBLICANS HAVING 5,153,695 VOTERS TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S 4,473,665.
By March 2024, Florida Republicans had increased their lead to 850,000 more registered voters than Democrats. As of June 2024, they were approaching a one million voter registration advantage.
“@FloridaGOP is within 60,000 registrations of a ONE MILLION VOTER statewide lead over the Democrats,” Florida Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said this week.
“Let’s get to ONE MILLION,” he said, sharing a link to register to vote.
At this pace, Florida Republicans could easily reach the million milestone ahead of the November election, as former President Donald Trump continues to lead President Biden in what has become a red state in the last two election cycles, going for Trump both in 2016 and 2020.
