On August 10, the Florida Secretary of State released a new voter registration tally. That office rarely releases new tallies. It doesn’t release any during odd years, and in even years only releases tallies just before an election. The new tally was released for the August 2018 primary.
Percentages are: Democratic 37.19%; Republican 35.30%; independent and miscellaneous 26.84%; Independent Party .34%; Libertarian .24%; Green .05%; Constitution .01%; Reform .01%; Ecology .004%; Party for Socialism and Liberation .003%.
In February 2018, the percentages were: Democratic 37.27%; Republican 34.86%; independent and miscellaneous 27.34%; Libertarian .24%; Independent Party .19%; Green .06%; Constitution .01%; Reform .01%; America’s Independent Party .01%; Ecology .003%; Party for Socialism and Liberation .003%.
The number of registered voters in the new tally is lower than the February 2018 tally. The February 2018 tally was never published on the Secretary of State’s web page, but was determined by ordering a list of all the registered voters and running a program to tally each party. Ken Moellman helped with that.
It is somewhat surprising that the number of registered independents declined, as a percentage. It declined by 250,000 voters since February 2018.
America’s Independent Party lost its qualified status sometime earlier in 2018. It had run Tom Hoefling for President in 2016 and 2012, and Alan Keyes in 2008.
The United Coalition worked closely with both Tom Hoefling for President in 2016 and 2012 and Alan Keyes in 2008.
Alan Keyes [Republican] defeated Marcus Denton [Pot] in the First USA Parliament Election of 1995 and Alan Keyes used some robotic voting signup where only Republican names were used and so new stricter rules were required.
Because the party bosses consist of conciepted egomaniacal male psychopaths, voters’ choices of female candidates, has been oppressed.
Less than 20% of Congress is female so we can expect large shifts so America’s Independence Party continually running males will certainly drive voters away.
Pure proportional representation can provide that teamwork when is men unite to vote for our opposite gender ahead of ourselves with consecutively alternating ranked genders thereafter.
Men who put themselves ahead of our opposite gender hurt the team
Then that team loses membership so now the United Coalition is correcting the ship.

Party registration lists are PURGE lists —
ZERO learned from Stalin and Hitler regimes.
Glad to see the Independent Party of Florida working its way back. According to this link, there are 12,927,318 total registered voters in Florida, so the Independent Party’s 0.19% translates to 24,562 which is just under 10% of their pre-wipe out numbers from a year and a half ago: https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/voter-registration-statistics/voter-registration-monthly-reports/voter-registration-by-county-and-party/
Richard, “It is somewhat surprising that the number of registered independents declined, as a percentage. It declined by 250,000 voters since February 2018.” Were you not aware of this heinous act?: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/political-pulse/os-independent-party-stripped-status-20170214-story.html
The decline in the number of independent voters between February 2018 and July 2018 has nothing to do with the Independent Party, or at least virtually nothing to do with it.
The Secretary of State disqualified the party in early 2017, as that article says, but a few months later the party re-established its qualified status by filing paperwork. It is true that when the Independent Party went off the ballot the state converted all its members to registered independents, but that would have had no effect on anything that happened this year.
There is no connection betweeen the Independent Party and America’s Independent Party.
Did the February 2018 registration rolls make a distinction between active and inactive voters? Typically, non-affiliated voters are less likely to vote. Rather than “independent” many are “indifferent”.
Florida does (or did until recently) publish monthly totals of Democrats, Republicans, minor parties, and non-affiliated.
It does have these numbers for June 30. There was an uptick in Democratic and Republican parties during July, with only a tiny increase in non-affiliated. Florida is a closed primary, and voters who wished to vote in the primary had to change their registration by the end of July (the bookclosing is the closing of the rolls prior to an election).
It is likely that there were also new registrations. It is only before elections that people actively seek to be registered.
I saw a post on a message board that said the state of Florida sends the Florida LP a DVD of voter registration data every month. I don’t know if the data is just for the LP or for the whole state. But as an alternate route, you might be able to get up to date data by reaching out to them.

They will send a disk to anyone for free. Registration information except things like SSN and drivers license numbers is considered public information, and Florida has pretty liberal public information laws.
The format doesn’t have an active/inactive field. An “inactive” voter is still a legitimate voter. If they show up to vote, they can vote, they don’t have to vote provisionally, but typically they are excluded from aggregate statistics.
Well that doesn’t make much sense. If they’ll send anyone a DVD for free, why not just make it available on the internet? It’s cheaper.
@Jim,
I dunno.
Maybe it is not actually cheaper based on the number of requests. Presumably the Republican and Democratic parties get the monthly list to keep their contact lists up to date. But how many others do?
It is possible that there is a concern about commercial use. What would you do with a list of millions of names, addresses, phone number, race, sex, age, and political party?
