Low Democratic Turnout in South Florida
Joy-Ann Reid tweeted this bad news for Democrats.
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, the largest, most Democratic FL counties, all had turnout <20% on Tuesday.
Democrats are going to need a huge turnout in November. Republican voters came out in mass for Marco Rubio. The GOP Senate nominee received 1,061,836 votes. That is more than what Kendrick Meek and Jeff Greene received combined. Rubio has the potential to help Rick Scott and other Republican candidates down the ballot. Barring a wide stance scandal, Republicans will do well come November.
Update: Post On Politics has a rundown of the counties with the best and worst turnout.
01.) Liberty (67) 51.4 percent
02.) Lafayette (66) 51.0
