Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumFlorida has 219 delegates at stake.
There are 27 congressional districts with 143 delegates.
An additional 76 delegates are elected state-wide for a total of 219 delegates.
Based on a current poll Biden will likely get all 76 delegates from the state-wide group. I'm guessing Biden will also likely get all or nearly all of the delegates in districts 15 thru 27 which are in southern Florida. They comprise 71 of the 143.
At a minimum I'm guessing Biden will get at least 180 delegates.
In 2016, Clinton got 141 and Sanders 73.

(31,261 posts)They tend to be somewhat more progressive than the southern cousins, but they also have bad recollections of Castro. I can see Sanders getting wiped out across the state of Florida.

(31,261 posts)But Jacksonville (in Duval County) has a huge African American population. Farther out west into the panhandle Dems are thinner (that area provides republicans with lots of votes in Generals). I see Sanders losing in pretty much all the populated places, except for Alachua County and the Leon/Gilchrist County region.
