Palm Beach County

Palm Beach County is a county in the southeastern part of Florida, located in the Miami metropolitan area. It is Florida's third-most populous county after Miami-Dade County and Broward County. President Trump was almost to flip this historically blue district which he lost it by only one point in 2024 Presidential Election.

Palm Beach County was the center of the controversy surrounding the 2000 Presidential election, due to its confusing "butterfly ballot": the ballot led many voters to vote for Pat Buchanan, a notorious anti-Semite who many voters (the county has a sizeable Jewish population) accidentally voted for instead of Al Gore.
