| Sumario: | This article studies U.S. presidential elections in the state of Florida. The author proposes a series of criteria for defining a swing state, observing that Florida has fulfilled them since the early 1990s, and analyzing its impact starting with the growth of its Electoral College. He interprets its transformation into a swing state as the expression on a state level of the realignment that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, observing a continuous trend of a changing national composition of the Latino communities and variations in their electoral behavior. These trends and the data logged in the framework of a national transition process indicate the existence of conditions for a new political realignment in the state as part of the national realignment. The emerging configuration of the political system in this state has yet to be determined. |
