Florida GOP voter registration lead breaks 800,000

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Republican Party of Florida now leads the Florida Democratic Party in voter registrations by nearly 810,000 voters, according to county-level data compiled by Florida’s Voice.

While Republicans have flipped several counties in recent months from red to blue, such as St. Lucie and Jefferson, several more are narrowing in the GOP’s favor.

One of the closest is Hillsborough County, in the Tampa area, which is home to over 800,000 voters. There, Democrats lead by just under 1.5%, or only around 12,000 voters.

And in Duval County, in the Jacksonville area and also very populous with more than 600,000 voters, Republicans trail by under 3%, or around 19,000.
