Blue Miami-Dade county in Florida flipped from Democrat to Republican in early and mail-in voting combined Thursday afternoon, according to the latest election results.
The live update at 2:32 p.m. Eastern showed Republicans across the state of Florida leading Democrats in terms of early and mail-in voting combined, seeing 44.20 percent for Republicans — or 1,382,165 votes — to the Democrats’ 35.54 percent, or 1,111,890 votes.
Across the state, Republicans have the clear lead in early in-person voting, 54.14 percent to the Democrat’s 26.99 percent — a difference of roughly 374,00 votes. Democrats have the edge on mail-in votes, 42.29 percent to the GOP’s 36.35 percent — a difference of about 103,000 votes.
Perhaps what is most surprising is the development in traditionally blue Miami-Dade, which flipped to red Thursday afternoon, counting both early votes and mail-ins. The 2:32 p.m. ET results showed Republicans with 114,195 total votes in the county compared to 114,113 for Democrats. Republicans have the +17.1 percent advantage on early in-person voting, while Democrats have a 13.2 percent edge on mail-in votes.
