Florida Republicans Closing in on Florida Democrats' Voter Rolls

I’ve got some great news and a fun article to share (if you too bask in the demise of the Democrat Party) – The Republican Party is on the verge of surpassing the Democrat Party in registration for the FIRST TIME in the history of Florida!

Shockingly, even though the Republican Party has crushed the Democrat Party in statewide victories over the past couple of decades, Democrats have always maintained a voter registration lead over Republicans…but…we are approaching the flip point…and it could happen within the next couple of WEEKS!

Check out the historical voter registration gap (posted below) and read the article at the bottom of this email for some reactions by leading Democrats.

Lastly – Thank you to every single County Republican Party, Volunteer, and Voter who has helped us get to this point! We’re not done yet and we aren’t gonna stop once we surpass the Democrats in registration, so please keep up all the great work in your local county. And if you are a voter reading this and looking to get involved, please contact your county Republican Party ASAP to help us reach this historical and incredible accomplishment (Click here to contact your local GOP).

Republicans have nearly entirely eroded Democrat’s long standing voter registration advantage, which at its peak was 700,000 when President Barack Obama won Florida in 2008.
