Having lived down there, and actually being (I know, an endangered species), a native Floridian, I can tell you that most of the people I’ve met down there in Broward (where I lived from 1984 to 1992) appear to have had their brains melted by the extreme heat and most of those who are long-term locals have their skinned properly cooked. I’ve seen women who were in their mid-80’s and brown, and were obviously as caucasian as can be, and yet, they had cooked. I hated shaking hands with the older people there.
We lived in a small little conservative town in the north part of Broward county.
We had a Century Village (affectionately known as Cemetary Village). There were about 30,000 residents of the retirement community. The town had 60,000 voters and about 70,000 residents. Every election cycle, we had votes that were for the Dems and Reps. It didn’t matter what we wanted. Even if you had 90% participation outside the Village, and it was 90% Republican, they still lost due to the 100% participation and 99.97% Democrat participation.
They would fill out the ballots for the retirees, had polling places inside the village, and wheel them out. Frankly, it was a voter mill. Most of the people there didn’t like the mayor, but they still voted for her. Why? Because that’s what they were told to do.
Incredible
