Florida Voting Results 2016-2020

I was comparing the results of the Presidential election in Florida for 2016 & 2020.

The numbers in Miami-Dade make no sense

Clinton 2016: 624,146
Biden 2020: 617,289

958,000 voted in 2016
1,150,000 voted in 2020

So roughly 200,000 more people voted in 2020 in Miami-Dade but Biden received 7,000 fewer votes than Clinton.

This might be possible but it makes no sense.

Hi,
I saw the same numbers and it looks like the GOP added 200,000 voters in a county and no other voters in any of the other 66 counties. These 200,000 voters don't seem to show up in the early voting data. I have never seen 200,000 voters just show up like that. Its the strangest thing I have ever seen. It must be explainable somehow but I did email someone at Larry Sabatos Crystal Ball who knows way more than me and he said it is different but not implausible. I will take him at his word but it seems strange.

county. Twitler’s campaign worked really hard in the Cuban community to GOT. There were complaints early in the Biden campaign that they were not doing enough in South Florida. I think by the time they realized they actually had a chance it was too late.

combined with ballots stuck in the post office, and some history...it may be worth the time to audit a bunch of ballots and see if those people really exist.

There are a number of curious anomalies I'm noticing-- after all, Obama won big in Florida-- both times. Then we have his VP running for president and it goes red??
