Florida 2000 election (results in Miami)

Hello, a curiosity, if possible: I have never been able to find the final totals of the city of Miami, only of the city and not of the county, as regards the presidential elections of 2000. Can you help me? I imagine that in Miami, only in Miami, it was the vice president Gore of the alliance, who won and also with a good margin. I thank you in advance, a happy greeting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.100.198 (talk) 13:00, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Is How Miami-Dade voted in the last five presidential elections any good? Alansplodge (talk) 17:14, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Isn't Dade County the county Miami was in and then it annexed the rest of the county? In not sure. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 18:53, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

So I actually spent a bit of time looking into this. The short answer is that this exact data doesn't exist. Since the elections are tallied based on precincts within counties (and not cities), the only hard data is results by district. This doesn't really answer your question, but it does show who was registered republican/democrat/other and the real turnout.

Basically, you would have to find out which precincts or districts made up the city of Miami in 2000, then add up the votes for each. There are 614 precincts in the county, so enjoy! Election Results Archive Realizar (talk) 01:15, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
