Over the past fifty years, Broward County has gone from solidly
Republican to solidly
Democratic. In the
1972 U.S. presidential election, Broward County residents voted overwhelmingly for
Richard Nixon over
George McGovern. From the
1992 U.S. presidential election onward, however, voters of Broward County backed the Democratic
presidential nominee over the Republican nominee by strong majorities. Broward County is now the most reliably Democratic county in the state,
[28][29] with the exception of the much less populous
Gadsden County. This change in voting tendencies may likely be the result of a continuous flow from large
migrations of
snowbirds and transplanted people from the historically more
liberal Northeastern states and other
blue states, as well as a growing
LGBTcommunity, and also
naturalized U.S. citizens born in places such as
Latin America, the
Caribbean,
Canada,
Europe, and
Asia.

The majority of the city commission is also liberal/democrat.
facts are facts, bro, I'm just pointing them out.
