Florida was one of five states that gave Perot more than 1 million votes, including California, Texas, New York, and Ohio. Clinton flipped the heavily populated South Florida counties of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami -Dade, which had all voted for Bush in 1988, into the Democratic column, and they remained reliable Democratic bastions in the state until the early 2020s, buoying Democratic base support in the state.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Clinton's victory in Palm Beach County was noteworthy in as much as that county had not previously backed a Democratic presidential nominee since Florida's "Solid South" days when Franklin D. Roosevelt swept all sixty-seven counties in 1944.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, p. 164-165 0786422173 This was the last time St. Lucie County voted for a Republican presidential candidate until 2016.
