Florida overall turnout increased from 71.15% of registered voters to 74.48%, an increase of 3.33 percentage points.

In South Florida voter turnout increased far more than the state overall. Palm Beach up 10, Miami-Dade up 5, Broward up 5.

The Tampa area is where Clinton lost Florida. There was no enthusiasm for her there and there was enthusiasm there for Trump.

This can be seen in rally turnout (photos http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3501218/posts?page=81#81) as well as voting turnout.

Hillsborough county voted Democrat in 2012 and again in 2016, however voter turnout decreased by 1 percentage point. The decrease is more remarkable considering that voter turnout in Florida was up by over 3 points.

Just across the causeway from Tampa, Pinellas county saw turnout increase by 4 points - and flip from Democrat to Republican.

Tampa likely was a big part of her losing Florida. Losing Monroe and St. Lucie counties didn’t help either.
