Trump gain 200k votes in Miami Dade compare to 2016! Something is not right.

[Sogo]

1. DeSantis worked some magic for his buddy Trump.

[rzemanfl]

2. Him or Putin. n/t

[2naSalit]

35. Or both of them together.

[BusyBeingBest]

3. I don't know about these numbers, but I've said yesterday

that something doesn't smell right about the Miami Dade numbers compared to Clinton.

[Roland99]

4. Cuban-American vote. It's been talked about quite a bit. Was alerted to the Dems a couple months ago

deep-seated problems with Dem leadership and south FL

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. 200k extra Cuban-American votes this time? I don't think so.

[Agschmid]

16. Then you don't know Miami.

[mr_lebowski]

23. I don't care how well you know the population ...

A shift of this magnitude is statistically pretty damn unlikely.

Esp. when Biden is not all that different from Hillary, policy-wise, and a much less-disliked person in general.

[Agschmid]

31. No it's very likely if a targeted effort was made to register and encourage people to vote.

The FL Republican Party knew what they needed to do to win, and they did it.

I don’t see fraud here.

[Roland99]

33. Exactly. trump campaign was hitting SE FL hard

And also again working to suppress the black vote

[mr_lebowski]

34. You really think that many Cuban Americans were sitting around so politically uninvolved before

that they didn't bother to register ... and then were suddenly converted into Trump zealots who all showed up on election day?

I'll say it again ... I think this is statistically unlikely (without shenanigans of some kind).

[LymphocyteLover]

45. Indeed-- how big is that population anyway?

Maybe 1.8 million in florida
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Americans

So let's say 1.2 million in Miami. They found 200,000 more of these people to register and get them to vote for trump? Seems unlikely.

[ornotna]

52. very likely in Miami

It's a whole different world down there.

[mr_lebowski]

59. Okay, well you'd have to be right that it is weird to the point of being a ridiculous

statistical outlier ... so if you say so ... I have no evidence to the contrary, except to say that such outliers are very rare. Kinda by definition

[johnnyfins]

53. I agree, and I don't think it was only Miami/Dade...

[smirkymonkey]

55. +1000

[mopinko]

61. i've been saying the cuban vote is bullshit for 2 days now.

you cant tell me they want trump, who closed cuba, after biden's buddy opened it up.
i will not swallow that shit.

[cwydro]

26. No shit.

Spot on.

[Amishman]

40. correlation is not causation. we do not know that the new 200k are the Trump 200k

extremely unlikely that there is even that much overlap between the two

[Oppaloopa]

47. I haveCuban Americans married into my family Yes they were in favor of trump But not now they all

say he is a racist.

[SergeStorms]

56. They're deathly afraid of socialism...

but apparently fascism doesn't bother them as much? South Florida Democrats screwed the pooch in this election. They need a whole lot of restructuring in their Democratic organization down there.

[Dream Girl]

42. Maybe this was subterfuge...handy explain to hide the anomaly

[Bernardo de La Paz]

49. Plus vast volumes of bogus conspiracy theories targetted Cuban-Americans in Miami-Dade. . . . nt

[yardwork]

54. Those Cuban-Americans voted for Trump last time.

According to the text, ALL of the 200,000 newly registered voters in Miami-Dade voted for Trump? That seems very unlikely.

[exboyfil]

5. Trump set a precedent for looking at this crap

This time there will people who actually know what they are doing.

[DURHAM D]

6. Russians having fun in sunny Florida. nt

[Thekaspervote]

7. Did ya all not see that 27% of the ballots out of So. FL were lost in the mail?

[TwilightZone]

8. There's nothing indicating that they were all newly-registered.

There are some leaps of logic here. One, that everyone who voted for Clinton in 2016 voted for Biden. Two, that the votes Trump picked up since 2016 were all new voters and none of Biden's were.

Neither of those make much sense and are rather unlikely to be true.

[mr_lebowski]

20. Exactly ... although if the turnout were 100% in both cases ... it might be closer

to being somewhat true.

Since I'm sure it was not ...

[voteearlyvoteoften]

9. There's that fraud the Repubs tryin so hard to find.

Recount Florida! 🏝

[SheltieLover]

10. Good idea!

[JCMach1]

11. Courtesy of ES&S machines and Russia

Same thing in Texas Rio grande valley.

Now, ask yourself why Trump and his peeps were talking up the Latinx narrative the last few weeks of campaign.

Remember when they did that in 2016 when the narrative was take the rust belt states.

Massive hacking is the untold story of this election.

[ElementaryPenguin]

37. Bingo!

This hacking U.S. elections is becoming routine. Our response has been pathetic (blocked by Moscow Mitch).

[JCMach1]

38. Miami-Dade and RGV in TX if you want some specific areas

Instead,.MSM are busy on their polling error and 'shy' Trump voter stories

[LymphocyteLover]

46. We need to talk about this!

[BComplex]

13. I keep trying to tell people, these machines are HACKABLE!!!

It was shown by the senate intelligence committee report that the RUSSIANS in 2016 found a way into the Florida computers!!!!!

[coti]

14. Yeah, I completely believe Trumpists stuffed ballot boxes nt

[Hassler]

15. Chump appealed to Hispanic prejudices--They're not POC,

They're white. A tried and true tactic that previously worked with Irish and Italians.

[Turin_C3PO]

30. Depends

Some Hispanics are white, some aren’t. Hispanic identity is made up of a spectrum of colors, cultures, and nationalities.

[Laelth]

17. That stinks to high heaven. n/t

[bullimiami]

18. in a democratic leaning county no less. there is something very wrong there. very wrong.

[PTWB]

21. Not really.

Cubans love Trump. Many flipped to him. The turnout was very high. Easily explainable by facts we know are true.

[bullimiami]

24. i lived there for almost 50 years and im telling you that there is no way you are right.

older cubans. refugee cubans. they remember the bay of pigs.
very republican, never likely to forget.
the next generation. not so much.
the current generation. even less.

[PTWB]

27. I'll take your word for it.

I am definitely not the expert and will defer to your personal experience actually living in Miami.

If something does stink I hope we figure out what.

[bullimiami]

32. I grew up with the 2nd generation cuban exiles. I smell something fishy.

i think someone hacked and got greedy.

if there is a way to audit this the Democratic lawyers should get on it.

[Iwasthere]

25. Not THAT many!

[pnwmom]

43. But why would they vote for Hillary and then switch to Trump?

[PTWB]

19. Very high Republican turnout and very high enthusiasm with Cubans for Trump

Don’t see conspiracies where reason and logic are the easy answers.

[judesedit]

22. One day they'll take electronic vote flipping seriously

ES&S, Diebold, Sequoia machines all easily hacked. Not sure if I named the machines correctly, but it's very close. We've been forewarned for more than a decade and it's still being ignored. I'm just thankful most people voted on paper ballots this time. More than they could manipulate by voter roll purging, disenfranchisement, gerrymandering, lack of drop boxes, trashing of mail sorting machines, mail delivery holdups, or holding ballots so not delivered to polls by cutoff time. This is a serious problem. Politicians live on another planet and refuse to believe or address it, unfortunately.

[ffr]

28. It's common practice for tRump to cheat in broad daylight. People are less suspicious that way.

200,000 new registrations and they all vote for tRump in a heavily democratic county wouldn't seem suspicious to anyone. But if he added a couple hundred, that would!

29. Putin!

[tavernier]

36. Was Joe running in South Florida?

Funny because I saw a total of two Biden signs in past 6 weeks. But TRUMP signs and billboards and flags were littering the entire bottom of the state for months. I seriously thought I was the only dem here. I called and volunteered to join sign holding get-togethers like in the old days, volunteered to put up street signs. Crickets. Well not exactly... I was told those things don’t matter anymore...the only volunteer stuff available was making annoying phone calls and texts. I figured they didn’t really need me for that because I was getting about 5 texts per hour, and like most ppl, I don’t answer my phone which is silenced, unless I know the caller.

But magats were standing on street corners waving flags and waving to car honks. I guess they didn’t the memo that this no longer works. We just looked like the picture of apathy.

[jg10003]

39. Broward county here: the were a LOT of ads calling

Joe a socialist and directly equating socialism with tyranny. These ads were very well done (i.e. very scary to Cubans and Venezuelans). Joe had ads but not as many and not as effective. Also HRC spent a lot of time campaigning here in person. The quarantine hurt Joe.

[Klaralven]

41. Registered Hispanics 276,762 DEM, 309,211 NPA, 322,485 REP

Totals are 636,141 DEM, 485,338 NPA, 433,236 REP

[sprinkleeninow]

44. Something appears smelly. eom

[bucolic_frolic]

48. Broken voting machine?

Both sides register for Trump?

Statistically, intuitively, that is not possible. Not possible at all.

[C Moon]

50. Didn't someone post on DU a couple months ago, RE: chips being stolen out of voting machines?

and wasn't that Florida?

[Ford_Prefect]

51. This is as Bent as it gets and wayyyyyy too uncool not to question every single aspect.

You're supposed to do this kind of vote theft subtly, as in you shift just enough votes to your candidate that it looks close. You use odd numbers not round ones. You shift a few over to any alternative candidates there are so it looks like a difference of opinion rather than grand theft.

[ecstatic]

57. It's called CHEATING

Remember, Florida is one of the only states where trump said it was OK to vote by mail.

[Boogiemack]

58. FL always cheats for the GOP. We should work to make them irrelevant in future elections. nt

[mopinko]

60. touch screens,

paper ballots, not vapor ballots.
