I was responding to a post on the past history of voting in Broward County. Yes, I know that neither Romney nor Obama are on the ballot. That doesn’t change the fact that Broward County is a Dem stronghold. They will vote for Hillary over Trump. The big questions are turnout and how many Dems will flip for Trump.

I'm guessing, (if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me) that the original poster was saying that this is good news because this particular polling place is in a Republican/Conservative leaning part of Broward County. I lived for four years in the Washington, DC suburbs which tended to vote democrat by a 70/30 margin, but even in the bluest of the blue areas like that there can be found conservative enclaves that vote as "red" as rural Texas...

I lived for 36 years in Fairfax County inside the Beltway. I was active in GOP politics. I witnessed the delcine of the GOP in NoVA beginning with Kerry winning Fairfax County in 2004, the first time a Dem did that in 40 years. Immigration, the migration of liberals into the area as part of the Beltway bandits, and increased federal employment has made the area solid blue. Conservative "enclaves" are virtually non-existent. The 10th district in VA will probably go blue this time. Comstock refused to endorse Trump and is an amnesty supporter. Good riddance.

FYI: One-third of Fairfax County is now foreign-born.
