Come one, come all: How Florida's diverse population has an impact on the election 🗳️
Florida has everything imaginable.
Beautiful beaches and beautiful people – a mix of paradise and pageantry. It’s also the perfect backdrop for political theatre on the first Tuesday of November every election season.
2020 is no different.
The Sunshine State, and its 29 electoral college votes, has become the all-important battleground for the road to the White House. Since 1996, Florida’s margin of victory has been 2.6 percent, the smallest of any state in the country, so whether it’s reelecting President Donald Trump for another four years, or Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden supplanting him – truly, every vote matters.
