Florida Voter Registrations Show Huge Swing to Democrats

Earlier this year, Florida Democrats surpassed Republicans in the number of registered Hispanics. In the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, state Democrats continue to increase their numbers by leaps and bounds:

The numbers are ominous for Republicans: Through May, Democratic voter registration in Broward County was up 6.7 percent. Republican registrations grew just 3 percent while independents rose 2.8 percent.

Democrats have posted even greater gains statewide, up 106,508 voters from January through May, compared with 16,686 for the Republicans.

"It's a huge swing," says Marian Johnson, political director for the Florida Chamber of Commerce. "I looked at that and said, 'Wow.'"
