The atlas claims the total number of votes in the 2016 presidential election in Florida was 9,502,747. However, this number is at odds with the FEC's election results report. https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/federalelections2016.pdf
In the table on page 6 of this report it says the total number of presidential votes in Florida in 2016 was 9,420,039. Among the other sources including this number as the Florida total is the American Presidency Project. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2016

Thanks - The Atlas is more comprehensive than the FEC report, including write-in votes tallied in official county reports that are omitted from the statewide reports. The Atlas also will, as can be confirmed, correct errors in statewide reports. See Election Notes on each state summary page for descriptions that differ from the source figures.
Thanks,
Dave
