▶In this video, I compare the US States of Florida and California. Going into various aspects, including flags, territory, geography, weather, coastline, population, politics, demographics, religion, education, wages, economy, taxes, infrastructure, HDI, and safety. California, the larger and more populous of the two, leans liberal in politics, while Florida has a mix of ideologies. Demographically, California is more diverse, and both states differ in religious affiliations. California has a higher GDP and bigger wages, but Florida has lower taxes. Overall, the comparison reveals similarities and differences between the two states.

Or spain and germany pls
Another similarity, they both have Disney Parks in Orange County.
And the most important! In Grand Theft Auto saga, California is called “San Andreas” 🏜️ while Florida is called “Leonida” 🏖️ 😁😁😁
True. I live in Vice City in the state of Leonida
I live in San Fierro in the State of San Andreas
Florida is called Florida
@@user-mv4kz6lw8u Florida is in Norway
@@user-mv4kz6lw8uin the original GTA vice city it is. But in the new canon of the HD universe started by GTA 4, it’s no longer Florida, but a fictional facsimile.
Both states would be amazing if we could get rid of the political nuts. The worst thing about Florida and California is how many political nuts we have!
Politically, Florida is awesome. California, the complete opposite.
@@monsterjamin24-79both are garbage
@@monsterjamin24-79your opinion is wrong
@@monsterjamin24-79Florida is politically trash it's even worse than Cali just the nuts are on the different end America political landscape is trash in general both Democrat and Republican are just BS parties who don't give a fuck about the working class and exist to protect billionaires and promote corruption.
And this is why I am so happy the person who made this video isn't American. He can see it without the political BS.
Brightline in Florida was not cancelled, the route from Orlando to port canaveral and down to Miami is done, the issue is Disney and universal fighting over the route west from Orlando to Tampa 👍🏼
It's fast, but not High Speed Rail.
@@michaeloreilly657 it’s pretty fast for American rail 🥲
@ograndombush...Brightlinec is not as fast as the high speed rail that California is planning (in part) because it has many stops...
@@garfieldwhittaker944 I didn’t say it was high speed, I just said it was done 😅
@@michaeloreilly657it does count as higher speed rail though
There used to be a red political area between LA and San Diego. People still see Orange County as conservative but it's flipped in recent years. All but one Congressional Rep is a Democrat and and the county supervisors went from 3 to 2 Republican Democrat to 2 to 3 Republican and Democrat. It's far from the conservative stronghold it used to be.
And another similarity, they both have counties named Orange and both counties have amusement parks named Disney.
Yeah, I’ve seen on Wikipedia they haven’t been conservative since Obama’s first term
@DhiMinusGan there was a republican congress seat that was lost on the midterm and regained in last presidential election.
It's been a gradual move and there's still conservative pockets. Also some deep pockets so fundraisers happen here pretty often. They're not looking for votes they're looking for donations.
And there's also a Trump stronghold in one city. Same place that protested mask mandates rallied for trump.
And both the parks are in their respective Orange Counties
Still pretty “conservative” here. It’s a big county. MAGA vendors at on-ramps galore and a dude in my neighborhood was arrested for insurrection. Lol😂
North State area above Sacramento is pretty red and conservative.
Would be cool to see a video about the Northwest (Washington & Oregon) vs the Northeast (New England & New York).
Good idea!
I would prefer comparing New England & New York to the upper mid-west, specifically Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. They seem like they would have somewhat similar climate and at least Wisconsin and Michigan have Great Lake access giving them more access to shorelines than most people realize. My geography isn’t great so I can’t remember if Minnesota borders any Great Lakes. You could possibly include Ohio, Indiana and Illinois with these upper Midwest states but they seem more similar to Mid-Atlantic states like Pennsylvania. New York is also a mid-Atlantic state but I see how some people group it with New England, more so than other mid-Atlantic states.
Alabama and Mississippi hate each other too
Why? @@bobdollaz3391
Minnesota vs Arizona
A couple of corrections regarding Florida. The state sales tax is 6%, and here in Osceola County they add an additional 1.5% for a total of 7.5%. Also, the Tampa to Miami High-Speed rail hasn't been canceled. The Orlando to Miami portion is completed and currently operating. The Orlando to Tampa portion is still a matter of active discussion.
I think the problem with the rail part is that technically Brightline even at its fastest doesn’t meet the internationally accepted definition of High Speed Rail, something they did plan in the past but cancel, and something that California is (eventually 😢) going to genuinely have.
@@RAdaltonraceror so they say, it’s been like 20 years I think? Correct me if I’m wrong
@@RAdaltonracerI’m pretty sure 125 mph is recognized as high speed rail. Although, brightline definitely leaves speed to be desired. Atleast it have active service and is reliable on expansion.
@@mattahmann So the current internationally recognized definition of HSR is, according to European Union Directive 96/48/EC, Annex 1: Lines built to handle speeds above 250 km/h (155 mph) or upgraded lines in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph) are considered to be high-speed.
Brightline runs at
125 mph (200 km/h) (Orlando-Cocoa, which is a dedicated built passenger rail line; 110 mph (175 km/h) (Cocoa-West Palm Beach); and 79 mph (130 km/h) (West Palm Beach-Miami).
So Brightline comes close, but no cigar.
Yes I’m a train nerd if you can’t tell lol
Upvoted so I didn’t have to type the same thing!😊
10:08 The Brightline hasn’t been cancelled in Florida. it now connects Miami and Orlando and will be expanding to Tampa
yeah it's already open Ive driven by it before
Canada's population just passed 40m so Canada is more populous than California for the 1st time in, probably, 150 years.
I love Canada. Got a lot of my relatives living in Toronto. Just hate the winter weather. That’s basically it.
Several Million Parasites have entered Canada, just in the last few years. At this "rate" - Canada will surpass
the United States of America's population in about 150 years. The Canadian PM, will be wearing a Pink Turbin.
@@tmghui888canada is undoubtedly cool but man their politics makes california look like florida 😂
@@makavelilivesonI love progressive politics
Florida has sunrises, great beaches and warmer water, but they have mosquitoes, humidity, hurricanes, gators. In addition, they lack any mountains... No thanks. California has the better weather, mountains, ridiculous natural and unnatural scenery, and thousands of miles of twisty open roads.
Unfortunately, they're both full of every conceivably flavored nut job.
I've heard that some people also want to divide Florida into 2 states, since the North is more stereotypically Southern, and the South has a bigger Latino influence.
I would support it… if the southern part of our state had any chance of not being underwater.
And I would’ve thought southern Florida had the biggest New York influence of all states except maybe Colorado and New Mexico.
I’ve never heard that in Florida ever.
@@PSTXFLI wouldn't be surprised, tho. Rural areas in EVERY state want to split from the cities. Loony tunes.
This has to be one of the best California and Florida comparing video out there

Thanks for watching! :)
@General.Knowledge
Alabama vs Mississippi
Louisiana vs Arkansas
Puerto Rico vs Hawaii
US Virgin Islands vs American Samoa
Guam vs Northern Mariana Islands
What do you mean “but it was canceled”? Brightline is currently operating 16 round trips per day between Orlando and Miami?
great video! floridas high speed rail wasnt thrown out however, and most of the map you showed was completed!
He might be using the strict High speed definition here of >125 mi/h
Median wage IS NOT the most common.
The median is simply the middle number of a set.
The most common is the MODE.
Yes! This is true, my mistake
@@General.Knowledgeya you seem to make a lot of them in the video. You also use antiquated information.
@@tylerkriesel8590oh snap

This needs a Mr Beat collab.
The Brightline rail in Florida was not canceled. It is actually operating and they're planning on the next leg from Orlando to Tampa.
Interesting shift in Orange County's political landscape and cool connections between the two Orange Counties. The idea of a video comparing the Northwest and Northeast sounds intriguing! Thanks for the Florida corrections - your attention to detail is appreciated!
Yay! I know it's a good day when you upload 😊
Thank you for another great comparison video. As stated in my comment under video comparing Iran and Saudi Arabia, I’d like to see comparison of Texas and California. Both were once part of Mexico, both are economically strong so it would be nice to see more about those two states.
The high-speed rail project in Florida was not canceled, it’s already running between Miami and Orlando just not Tampa
Thats not high speed rail , HSR is average speeds of 125mph and tracks of at least 150mph
At least we have a train unlike California. The reason why they can’t go 150 is because where the train tracks are, they run along side of the old freight trains and sometimes they have to go through more populated areas where it would be dangerous to go that fast.
“High speed”
@@logandonley8851BART and Caltrain do rail much better than any city in Florida.
I had a chuckle about the comparison of number of people incarcerated. I live in California and it’s VERY hard to get incarcerated here. You can shoplift up to $950.00 per load. If you want more than that and you don’t want to go to jail, you have to come back later, or shoplift a different store. That’s why there’s fewer people incarcerated in California per 100,000 residents.
This has to be the best California and Florida comparing videos out there. Also a lot of people in the comments have been saying the Florida Brightline is not cancelled idk but anyway Great Video.
This video is very educational! Might I add is that both states have capitals (Sacramento and Tallahassee) that don’t have beaches and have to drive at least an hour to go to the nearest beach.
How do Spain & Portugal compare?
I have lived in both. The cost of living in California is much higher than in Florida, especially housing. The Cost of Living statistics are BS.
New York vs Texas next? Then Illinois vs Pennsylvania
Um NO, Florida has Brightline Railroad which is a high speed rail way already going from Miami to Orlando and soon to Tampa. And living on $50k in Florida is much more affordable than living on $52k in California. As someone who has lived in both, Florida is far superior if you want to live a healthy lifestyle affordably. Also, the people in Florida are more down to earth & friendly in my experience than California. The average person in Florida is more likely to help out a complete stranger, versus California where even people you know are not as likely to help you out. Californians are more pretentious and elitists, whereas Floridians are more humble, kind, and giving of their time and money to benefit others. On paper California looks great, but when you actually live in both you see the difference and Florida beats California hands down for it's people and just being a nicer place to live.
There is a mistake in your information. Florida DOES have a highspeed rail system. It covers Miami to Orlando. The Orlando to Tampa and Orlando to Jacksonville legs are still planned and on schedule. There is also a trirail system which unites the southeast counties of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami Dade. California does not have any rail system in place and the next planned system connecting LA to Las Vegas is being built by Brightline which is the Florida company
Florida's Brightline isn't actually High Speed Rail. It's what qualifies as Higher Speed Rail. Not only does it fail to meet the qualifying speed of 125mph, it's average speed of the train is significantly lower due to the fact it has several crossings it has to slow down at. HSR is usually completely grade separated so it can reach high speeds consistently, but Brightline florida kept separate grade crossings to a minimum to reduce costs. There's also the fact it's not electrified at all. And you're wrong, California has several regional passenger rail systems such as Metrolink in the LA area, and BART in the Bay area, along with Amtrack services throughout the state.
@@picklking1119it’s faster then anything CAs got lol
You forgot the SunRail system in Volusia, Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties. With plans to expand into Polk county to the city of Lakeland. In addition to planned spur routes using the same tracks as Brightline to the Orlando International Airport and I-Drive areas. Basically rivaling the South Florida Tri-Rail system.
@@picklking1119bart isn’t high speed rail either, by your own definition. Its a regional commuter rail. For all the weird things about Florida, they scored a win with Brightline. I think Brightline from near Los Angeles to Vegas is coming soon though
@@stevens1041 I never claimed BART was HSR. That was in response to the guy saying that "California does not have any rail system in place", when in fact there are several regional systems, which i then listed. Might've initially misread that part thoe since he could've been talking about HSR, but i just took "rail systems" to mean any passenger rail system.
Brightline West will def be a game changer thoe if it sticks to current plans, since it'll actually be HSR. They just announced that about 11k union workers for the construction is about to be hired.
Geography is not the same California has mountains everywhere and deserts, Florida is flat no mountains and no deserts.
California has better climate too and better things to do imo Florida is alright but it's basically New York without snow and mutant rats instead it has swamps and gators lol
@@Klevwade Foorida got that turquoise waters. Island lifestyle
Uhhh, this video is mostly right, but got a few things wrong. At the 10:00 mark California as a whole has much better public transit than FL in their major cities. The Bay Area’s BART system is basically the NYC metro of the West Coast, with lines all over the metro Oakland, SF & San Jose areas. LA’s light rail isn’t bad either but has a ways to go. A lot better than 10 years ago. San Diego & Sacramento have light rail too. Meanwhile only Miami has light rail in FL…but hey at least you can ride Brightline now from Orlando to Miami, with plans to Tampa in the next few years.
Yeah nothing in Florida comes remotely close to the Bay Area’s BART and Caltrain systems.
10:00. Florida's high speed rail was canceled... but the proposed line was still built. It's not true high speed rail, only getting to 125 mph. It's open from Orlando to Miami and is being extended to Tampa.
How about comparing every state two at at time? Each opposite side of country. GA/AZ, ME/WA, OR/NH etc. great video.
Correction: Florida has 30 electoral votes and California has 54 votes
Great video.
A comparison between North and South Carolina would be great
Florida's High Speed rail, at least partially, actually completed and running, vs california's that god knows if will ever be completed.
Oh it will. IF the psycho MAGAs here ever let it.
What was left out of the CA/FL comparison has to do with
a. Exports of food produce by top 10 foods b. Exports of natural resources (e.g. lithium) c. Creation & exporting of high-technology products & software
d. A comparison of the actual cost of housing construction
e. A comparison of e.g. the number of live-audience theatres and other ‘arts venues’
f. A comparison of say the top 10 ‘economic engines’ that power the states’ GDP
g. the number of colleges and universities in each state and the total number of enrolled students & an average ‘graduation rate’ between CA college students & FL college students
h. a comparison of the cause of mortality (e.g. skin cancer melanoma rates might be higher in south Florida among Caucasians &c.)
i. annual rainfall levels
A couple of corrections; the rivalry between the two states is not friendly. Also, the words "California Republic" wasn't through a desire to become independent, it actually happened due to California seceding from Mexico and being a nation for 25 days before annexation by the US. The original Bear Flag had that written on it when it was raised in Sonoma where the US Navy went and took it down. I'll let someone from Florida clarify their flags design but I've heard that it a reflection of Florida being part of the Confederacy which had a blue cross with white stripes. I can't be too sure of this though. The Port of Oakland is not synonomous with the port of San Francisco since there is also a Port of San Francisco which is smaller than Oakland's. Good comparison video otherwise.
👌🏽
Florida's flag design is due to it being a colony of Spain, which at the time used the Cross of Burgundy as their flag. Not due to Florida's membership in the Confederacy.
To tell you the truth, the rivalry truly only exists in the minds of Floridians. Californians don’t think of Florida at all
@@darkplatinum2362 Yeah, you're right actually.
@@darkplatinum2362yeah, we don't need to :)
I live in California I love it here at least it has very nice weather and a beautiful landscape anyway.
California is in free fall and hasn't fallen yet.
In an ideal world states would get together to compare notes and see what works and what doesn't as well as how they can work better together instead of smuggly debating about who is better.
So you wanna do GTA V vs. GTA VI huh
Real
I really like the new intro
Please compare New Jersey and Florida
Thank you 😊 Do Uganda 🇺🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪 comparison
The cost of living for Florida and California are kind of misleading here because it depends what city you choose to live in from each state. I lived in San Francisco and now live in Orlando and yes the wages are less than San Francisco but not a lot less but you know what’s also less? Rent. I did lose $3 an hour moving here but the average rent for a studio in SF is like $2,500 while Orlando for a STUDIO is like $1,300. However you could also make the argument that it’s easier to afford Bakersfield over Miami but then you’re in Bakersfield over Miami and I’m not the biggest fan of either but I’d way rather live in Miami.
I lived in California for 37 years before moving to Nevada because California was so unsafe. The reason California seems safer, even though it isn't, is because the Police departments don't come unless something very serious happened. Because of this, a lot fewer police reports are written than the actual number of crimes committed and that tends to make the crime rate look lower. If the police wrote a report every time a crime were actually committed the California crime rate would be through the roof. Please do a comparison of California and Nevada next.
Brightline is in operation between Miami and Orlando. They are in the process of expanding Orlando to Tampa
Florida has better beaches.... You can actually go into the water without a wetsuit for the majority of the year. While California beaches are beautiful too, the ocean temperatures are quite "refreshing" to say the least.
"better" isn't necessary defined only by temperature.
@@kbanghartyes the scenery in Californian beaches are much better
@@irvin6846yes I agree with this statement I think Florida would have much better scenery if it had Cliffs along the coast as well. But I think Florida has a better Beach FEEL
The temperature of the water is nicer in Florida, but as far as beautiful goes, it does not come close to California.
It all depends on personal opinions. What is beautiful to one person, might be "boring" or ugly (not saying cliffs are ugly) to the next.
Do you prefer going to the beach near a large city (Miami or Los Angeles), or would you rather be on an archipelago of islands (Florida Keys), or a beach between the ocean and large cliffs (mountains) near Malibu. Or even a beach made of volcanic black sand with a 12.000 foot tall mountain as a back drop (Tenerife (I know not in either Florida or California))
should do california vs texas or new yourk vs florida next
I've lived in both and not comfortable in either...now living in SF, CA.
This will be interesting as someone who was born in California & currently lives in Florida.
The Florida State Flag is the St. Andrews Cross.
Privately financed Brightline is operating high(er) speed rail between Miami and Orlando with Tampa in progress. (Fun fact, CHSR will never open.)
It's not "debatable", non-violent crime _tracks_ higher in safer states because we apprehend and prosecute criminals which leads to lower violent crime. In no way is California safer than Florida.
Florida, and it’s not even close. Left California 2 years ago. Just without income taxes I’ve made $36,000 more dollars than I did previously in the 2 years. I work at a restaurant and I need every penny I can get.
1m subs here we come!
Florida is expensive to live because retirees come here and have no problem flopping 300k on a modest house, meanwhile most people make less than $20/hour and by far the largest industry is service which sucks for pay. That being said, I think California is in a worse position in regards to standards of living. Florida isn't out pacing population growth for no reason in comparison to California. That being said, I think what is going on in Florida is population replacement as younger people can't afford to live here, they move to another state. If it weren't for my parents living here, I'm almost certain I would move out.
I think you used the average hourly wage of $31 in California but used the median Household income of $84k.
Does anyone know how he edits his videos?
San Francisco isn't an active port, Oakland is the major port for the Bay Area.
Do Oklahoma v Florida - battle of the panhandles aka states that look like handguns
Florida's state flag (& most southern state flags) is a play on the Confederate "stars & bars". Similar to how the UK's Union Jack is depicted in it's regions flags.
I have lived in both,Florida lower crime lower prices lower homeless population no violent phycos,California just has nice weather Florida too hot😮
as someone from california this is a great video. I knew taxes were high here but I didn't realize they were so much higher than florida
As for a suggestion I say do india vs china next. both have a really high population and huge economies so it would be interesting to compare them
Yeah, that's why FL sux
@@kbanghart in California has lower taxes than Europe that's why California sucks compared to Europe
He didn't mention property tax. California gets an unusually high percentage of its tax revenues from income tax and property taxes are relatively low. I have no idea about Florida's property taxes.
It funny how Florida is so concern about borders when they're no where near Mexico!
Because too many idiots over there listen to the BS that DeSantis keeps spewing at them.
That is an excellent question. And the answer is: I'm not sure.
Compare my home state of Texas to New York.
California for the win!

Only South Florida is tropical. Not the entire state.
Thanks, this is what I was gonna comment. We live in a tropical climate while the rest of the state is subtropical
@@Dhi_Bee Right, I’ve been to Florida numerous times and North Florida (especially the Panhandle) can get quite cold at times (though still much milder than most of the US)
But lots of people tend to generalize the entire state as being tropical. I’ve even met some people who call the entire Southern US tropical which is bizarre to me.
@@maryelizamoore7870 yeah, especially the panhandle & northern counties bordering Georgia & Alabama where the leaves even change colors during fall & sometimes it snows there. And, you can tell which parts are tropical or not by the absence or presence of COCONUT palms. If you don’t see any, that means the area isn’t tropical
@@Dhi_Bee That's true. I never thought about that. But that would be a good way to tell.
The only difference between tropical versus subtropical is the average monthly temperature isn't below 64 °F/18 °C, during the coolest month. Due to the "thinning" of the Florida Peninsula this can be easier maintained in the Southern most counties, especially the Florida Keys.
However cities further North especially right along the Gulf of Mexico are borderline tropical. Take Clearwater in the Tampa Bay area. Their average monthly temperature during their coldest months (January and February) is at 62.3 °F/16.8 °C. Which is only 2.1 °F/1.2 °C below the tropical threshold.

Please compare California and Texas.
California has tall palm trees and Florida has short palm trees.
California has mountains and Florida is flat land.
I thought Florida had a gun pointed at California😂
11:21 also California doesn’t lock people up for crimes so of-course floridas incarceration rate is higher.
6:09 Uh, the graph is wrong for Florida?
How about a pollution comparison between America, India and China???
As somebody who have lived in both states. California is by far the most beautiful state with nicer climate, don't have to worry about humidity, hurricanes and the daily rain shower you get in Florida. You can truly enjoy your hard earned money in California and don't need to be 70 years old like Florida. The landscape in California is to die for, if you love the outdoors and natinal parks you will love California. Florida is mostly flat landscape and water and old people.
California…….love the climate and the varied topography. Can’t stand the real estate prices, traffic and of course their failed politics !
10:00 CANCELLED MY ASS!!! BRIGHTLINE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR FIVE YEARS NOW!!!
Florida gang☀️🌴
I live in Florida . The high speed train hasn’t been cancelled.
California is beautiful, exciting and Florida is boring but mostly well run compared to California
At 8:09 I’m gonna stop you right there, nobody in their right mind thinks that the cost of living is $53k in California and $50k in Florida. No way in hell that’s correct. Florida money goes a long way housing, utilities and gas alone are better. Let’s add car registration and lastly California income taxes and there is no way this gap isn’t at least $25k yearly.
Now makes me think that the average tax most stuff on Mexico has with 16% sounds high compared with California and Florida.
Bright line is actually operational and making money whilst California high-speed rail is still not complete and getting further and further behind. I wanted to be completed and it should’ve been completed a decade ago. At this rate I predict not only all the Las Vegas Bright line be finished before California high-speed but maybe even Texas Central which hasn’t even started yet. I hope I’m wrong but California needs to get a move on.
I love California's flag. The bear looks mighty and its very memorable.
Florida most definitely has rail service between West Palm, and Miami, with construction underway to connect Tampa to the east coast as well. A bit of a fumble in the video there.
Issues aside, California will always be the more beautiful and cooler state.
Sounds strange but I like strange so I would prefer south Florida or north California
Friendly is a push.
Also one is heaven to live in and the other is hell
assuming florida is heaven cus california is absolute dog sht
Yeah i agree Florida sucks. California for the win.
@@LandonAPersontbh both sucks
@@LandonAPerson yeah whatever you say bud
Florida wins because we have Florida man!
...and both will have major land loss as sea levels rise. I don't think Cali can break up cuz the south takes the north's water.
Florida's set to lose half its land to the sea in the next 120-150 years. California won't lose anywhere near that much land, but it might lose a little. Florida's basically a sand bar made of dead compacted coral fossils. CA's geology is a whole lot different from Florida's, and climate change will drastically affect the state in all its regions but California will survive.
Well they are both great but the problem is the people running them?
I think the political analysis of the two states was a bit incomplete, but it was a good review nonetheless. Florida has one of the nation's largest disenfranchisement holding and some of the more drastic gerrymandering in the nation, so I think it may be unfair to say the state is red, rather than the outcome of these factors RESULT it in being red.
Otherwise, great and digestible overview of two great states.
In the last statewide election for governor and senate, the republican candidates won by 20%. And you can't blame gerrymandering, because again, state-wide election. Florida today is a red state. Also, requiring ID to vote is not "disenfranchisement." Every country has the same requirement.
@@mikesiciliano210 10.43% of the Florida population is disenfranchised. 1,686,318 total Floridians are disenfranchised. Florida has the most disenfranchised citizens in the country. That means, ID or not, there is 10% of the voting population that are barred from voting given only having a felony. As such, a little under a quarter of the entire black male population, both a large enough voter bloc to have swayed both the 2016 and 2020 election, and a consistent Democratic stronghold, it is a definite political tool used by the republicans to manufacture an image of red in an otherwise purple state.
Your comment is misguided and poorly informed.

@@brpopboy66 And does that law only apply to black men? I don't think so. So I find it bizarre that you feel the need to single out that group specifically. So long as the law is enforced consistently, I don't see the problem. Also, I find the specific numbers you cite highly unlikely. But again, it seems like one simply needs to avoid committing felonies. Seems easy enough to me.
@bradyboy66 Also, republican party registration has surpassed democratic party registration in Florida in recent years. Women, Hispanics, and most every other group in Florida have been leaning more republican in recent years. It's not disenfranchisement that is costing democrats elections.
