I was comparing the results of the Presidential election in Florida for 2016 & 2020.

The numbers in Miami-Dade make no sense

Clinton 2016: 624,146
Biden 2020: 617,289

958,000 voted in 2016
1,150,000 voted in 2020

So roughly 200,000 more people voted in 2020 in Miami-Dade but Biden received 7,000 fewer votes than Clinton.

This might be possible but it makes no sense.
