Where Trump won in Broward Notable shifts
Even in deep blue Broward County, where Joe Biden received 65.5% of the vote, there were pockets of support for President Donald Trump.
Trump defeated Biden in five Broward cities, largely the wealthiest enclaves inthe most Democratic county in Florida.
Biden won 25 of the county’s cities, townsand villages, sometimes by astounding margins. Trump’s highest percentage wasn’t close to several of Biden’s best communities.
In Lighthouse Point, where Trump performed better than any other city in Broward, he received 65.8% of the vote. Thatwas0.3 percentage points better than Trump got in 2016.
Therewere 11 cities in Broward in which Biden received more than65.8% and eight which gave him more than75% of the vote, topping out in Lauderdale Lakes, with 91.6%. (In 2016, Hillary Clinton received 91.7% of the vote in Lauderdale Lakes.)
Biden won all six Broward cities with more than 100,000 residents: CoralSprings, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines and Pompano Beach.
The five Trump cities were Hillsboro Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Lighthouse Point, Sea Ranch Lakes and Southwest Ranches.
The Biden-Trump numbers for most of Broward’s cities was strikingly similar to
the 2016 Clinton-Trump results. Trump and Biden/ Clinton were generally within 1 to 3 points.

■ In Miramar, Trump was 6.5 points higher than in 2016, and Biden was 4.8 points lower than Clinton.

Fine print
Broward’s tiniest municipality, Lazy Lake, is missing from the list. It had population of 24 residents in the 2010 Census and it votes in a Wilton Manors precinct, and its results are included there.
The Broward Supervisor of Elections Office has posted unofficial results from each of its 577 precincts on its website, which makes it possible to compile results for all the cities except Lazy Lake.
Palm Beach County’s Elections Office said it would have “the precinct level data available on our website along with the official results which will be available around November 17th.”
