Miami Metro was by far the biggest shift to the to the right from Black Voters nationally this cycle.

For Latino Voters, the 11 percentage Democratic drop still didn't crack the top 10 highest shifts, as there were many cities with bigger Latino shifts, notably New York City proper with a -18 percentage drop in Democratic support.

  2. This doesn’t show polarization, your title doesn’t make sense. If anything it shows that these voters are not polarized, given how far the swung from one party to the other. High polarized voters are, by definition, too far removed from the center to change party alignment.

  3. It doesn’t really make sense to compare Cubans from Miami against Latinos elsewhere, such as NYC. They have different identities. 

  6. The city of Miami’s response to disturbances in the early 80s after acquittal of police after killing unarmed black men was to hire more Latino police for future suppression of civil unrest. So, this tracks.
