Ref the several posters asking about Florida Haitians I’ll quote this comment I posted in the Springfield-related thread:

In some cases their home island isn’t a good idea, so they’re searching out extended family elsewhere, etc. The Afro-Americans without a recent immigrant connection are feeling sort of cornered, with no safe place to escape to.

If these folks, Haitian or otherwise, are able to vote, they will. And they’re voting D. Lots and lots of Afro-[whatever] are second generation, where Mom & Dad were immigrants but they were born here. Lots more have been naturalized US citizens for most of their lives.

They’re scared and they’re motivated.
