United States presidential election in Florida, 2016 (New Johannson Scenario)



The 2016 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election. Florida voters chose forty-three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.

Florida was won by incumbent President Edward H. Johannson (R-Minnesota), running with Vice-President Neel Kashkari, with 56.83 percent of the popular vote, against Governor John C. Dickenson (D-Georgia), running with Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, with 43.17 percent of the popular vote. Johannson won the state by a margin of 13.66%, or 1,286,777 votes.

Johannson won all but four counties in the state, performing especially well in the more liberal and diverse South Florida counties, which contained an extensive number of Northern and Midwestern transplants, as well as substantial numbers of Cubans and Puerto Ricans, two demographics that have traditionally been friendly to the Republican Party. He swept the urban areas of Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Sarasota, Tampa, and Fort Myers, and also carried the major urban centers of Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee. Johannson's strong performance in Florida's major urban and suburban areas provided him with the largest margin among the five Confederate states that he carried.
