I suspect it swung Romney, although I believe Miami-Dade whites are pretty democratic anyway.

I know they are. Romney must not have won the Cuban vote by as much as prior Republicans or the white vote was more liberal than expected. Or voter fraud?

It depends on what you'd consider white in Miami. Miami Dade is majority white if you include white Hispanics and that white vote swung towards Obama. The Non Hispanic white vote is a lot smaller and honestly I don't know how it might have swung.

Now, let's look at the national trend and the Florida trend, overall whites voted more for Romney, blacks stayed about the same, and hispanics voted more for Obama. If you look at Dade County, you can see that it swung to Obama more so than last time. Considering the miniscule white population, only one in five in the county are white, and considering that about half of the county is hispanic white, and the fact that people in the county are kind of segregated (http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/index.html) then you can imagine the (more liberal) white vote going to the right, while all other groups trended towards the Democrats.

What about it though?
