Number of Electoral Votes: 30

Florida has significantly increased in importance over the past 70 years, starting with eight electoral votes in 1945 and reaching 29 votes in 2012. After the 2020 Census, the state gained its 30th electoral vote. The state gained national attention during the contentious 2000 election, which took a month of legal disputes to finalize the winner. In recent years, Florida has leaned towards the Republican Party, resulting in wins for Donald Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
