Palm Beach county above and even Monroe county below are included on that list, but not Broward (or Miami-Dade).

and sat on it 2 1/4 hours until it took me to "sign up". At that point my county wasn't even listed as an option. I am in Pinellas which voted blue last election. Publix has been catering to red counties from the get-go. Another batch comes in for Friday 7 am signup. I will give it the old college try but am not expecting much.
