Miami-Dade’s development, paired with other voter roll maintenance, nearly propelled state Republicans to a lead statewide of 1.3 million voters; that statistic now rests at 1.29 million. The flip comes months after the flip of Hillsborough County to red by voter registration. “Miami-Dade County has completed its off-year voter roll maintenance, and this morning, it shed 172,747 voters from its active rolls,” said Decision Desk HQ’s director of data science, Michael Pruser. “The change netted Republicans more than 38,000 voters compared to Democrats, and the county has now flipped to Republican by registration. Today marks Republicans’ first-ever lead in voter registration in Miami-Dade.” In terms of percentage points, Republicans lead Miami-Dade by about 1.75 points, and they lead Hillsborough by 2.1 points.

Miami-Dade is officially RED! https://t.co/DHFlF2CljQ — Rick Scott (@ScottforFlorida) May 19, 2025 The Hill reports: The updated numbers came after the county completed its off-year voter roll maintenance. According to Decision Desk HQ data science director Michael Pruser, the county shed 172,747 voters from its active rolls. That led to Republicans netting more than 38,000 voters. While Miami-Dade County has historically leaned Democratic, there have been signs the county has shifted in recent years. Last year, President Trump flipped the county at the presidential level for the first time in 36 years. That win was a part of a slew of wins in the state in November that further cemented the state’s status as a deep-red state. “From Rubio to DeSantis to Trump, this victory is a testament to the strength of Republican leadership and grassroots power. What was once blue is now a blazing red fortress—and we’re charging toward an even brighter future!” Florida’s Republican Party said in a statement.
