Florida has no shortage of major moments in Black history; from the Civil War through Jim Crow

I have published my final analysis and numbers breakdown of the Miami Mayor runoff
This piece looks at final turnout figures for vote and how Higgins massively over-performed party metrics. She did far better with independents than Harris #flapol

In Miami, Democrat Eileen Higgins easily advanced to a December runoff with Republican Emilio Gonzalez
Thanks to incredibly strong Democratic turnout, fellow Dem Ken Russell almost edged into second!
This also marks the end for several longtime politicos. Carollo, Suarez, Portilla. The titans fell
Turnout in Miami as of 1pm. Democrats have done a very good job getting their side out.
In 2024, democrats had a 6% lead in vote cast. Right now that lead is almost 13%!
Really great rundown here of the Miami Mayoral race for those curious.

Today Miami has a dynamic 6 way race for mayor. Actually it’s 12 but we have 6 candidates who all have a shot at making the runoff

Happy Halloween! 🎃
I present. The partisan breakdown of the over 1,200 elected county CORONERS in America 💀
You can read all about these spooky elections here mcimaps.com/halloween-20...
No state has seen a bigger shift in the party affiliation of county coroners than Arkansas
In 2017, Democrats dominated the office. Now in 2025 the GOP has 3x the offices. A vast majority of this is party switching or retirements.
More coroner maps in coming days 🎃
At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

The great 2025 Coroner Elections breakdown is almost done. 🎃
Thursday or Friday, we will see how all these dark purple counties voted in their races for county coroner!

I only discovered this fact myself when my sister moved to Summit County, Ohio. She is taking my nephews to out tonight in their town.
I asked her if anyone really tries to rebel against the designated days and insist on 10/31. She said no, its largely accepted
Today in Akron, Ohio, as well as in several other towns, kids will be going Trick or Treating tonight 🎃🍭
Several townships in the Midwest, especially in the suburbs south of Cleveland, designate official trick or treat days, rather than simply go with Halloween

Ah, locals mention the federal court order here, which also requires agents to wear some identification.
Also, quite an image in here: masked, fully-geared-out DHS agents getting screamed at in a residential neighborhood by some dude who is barefoot and in pajama pants.

Coroner is not the only post this happens with. Sheriffs, Clerks of Court, county commissions. The down-ballot always lags behind top-of-the-ticket party shifts.

Day 19 of mapping #CoronerElections for Halloween
Mississippi used to be heavily Democratic down-ballot, and that was reflected in coroner posts.
By 2023, however, things had flipped, thanks largely to retirements or party switching. Only a few incumbents actually lost
Day 18 of mapping #CoronerElections for Halloween 🎃
In 2023, Democrats flipped the coroner post in just 1 county in Mississippi's elections
In Pike County, David Taylor, the owner of a local funeral home, defeated deputy coroner Chan Thomas, who was trying to hold the office for his retiring boss
Meant to post yesterday!
Day 17 of mapping #CoronerElections for Halloween 🎃
Montana is a state where a vast majority of counties elect the office of "Sheriff & Coroner."
In addition, a batch of counties elect coroner non-partisan. Only 9 counties do partisan elections.

In 2024, Democrats held on to the Lake Coroner post, and then flipped the DuPage and Kane County coroner offices
