 The presidential election of 1988 was a very partisan election for Florida, with more than 99% of the electorate voting for either the Democratic or Republican parties, and only four candidates appearing on the ballot.Every county in Florida turned out in this election for Bush, except for North Florida’s Gadsden County, which voted narrowly more for Dukakis than Bush., this is the last election in which Miami-Dade County, Broward County, Palm Beach County, Alachua County, and Leon County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.
