Good evening Anons,
I took the time to tabulate each county in Florida for Senate & Governor Races
Registered by Party
Reported Votes per Candidate per County
I used Politicos Mid term results (https://www.politico.com/election-results/2018/florida/) & Florida's voter registration websites (https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/voter-registration-statistics/voter-registration-monthly-reports/voter-registration-by-county-and-party/). I took my time and double checked my numbers. Approx 62% of Floridians voted.
My theory was that both Senate and Governors race should have about the same votes per Candidate per party line, except that the governors race had a third candidate (which I took into consideration) and most of the third candidate voters went with republican unless it was a highly saturated democratic county in the senate race. The differential was minimal in all counties except for Broward .
If some one could tell me the steps to get my spreadsheet uploaded for proof, it would be appreciated.
I will give two examples:
Broward County
Senate Total Votes 682,453
Nelson 471,334
Scott 211,119
Governor Total Votes 708,558
Gillum 481,677
DeSantis 221,873
Other 5,008
The difference in votes between the two races is 26,105 more in the Governor’s Race
Duval County
Senate Total Votes 378,036
Nelson 192,203
Scott 185,833
Governor Total Votes 379,837
Gillum 196,537
DeSantis 179,869
Other 3,431
Differential between races is 1,801
So, basically if you run the numbers there is approx a 450 per 100,000 differential which runs very true for most counties. Both of these counties are Blue.
So if the math is right then Broward should have a 3,150 vote differential and NOT 26,105.
Look at the difference in votes between same party candidate and then look at the governors race,
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE SENATE RACE IN FLORIDA, ITS ABOUT THE GOVERNORS RACE. Each candidate has a 10,000+ difference from there party mate.
The numbers do not lie and 26,105 differential only occurs if you are in a hurry and are only marking governor race.
