The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) continues to gain momentum as two counties flipped to its side.

According to RPOF, Polk and Volusia counties are now majority Republican. Both counties were once majority Democrat.

In Florida, Republicans are working hard to expand their party through the Project Majority Red, a statewide voter registration effort.

Data from the website of Volusia Department of Elections showed there were 380,792 registered voters as of September 21, 2017.  The number Democrat voters were 132,395 while Republicans were 133,401.

On the other hand, there were 396,427 total registered voters in Polk County as September 22, according to the Office of the Supervisor of Elections. Democrat voters were 142,673 while Republican voters were 143,039.
