what's the importance of florida?
why's everyone talking about them?
Florida is a state with a large population (29 electoral votes) that swings back and forth between voting Republican or Democrat because it has a very diverse population (it's where people from all over the USA often move to when they get older and retire.) Most states with big populations like New York and California typically vote a certain way. Florida can potentially be swung one way or the other. So it's always important.
