Florida has demonstrated exceptional efficiency in vote counting during the 2024 US Presidential Election. Within an hour of polls closing, Florida had counted nearly 90% of its votes, showcasing a stark contrast to other states that take days or even weeks to finalize results. This rapid reporting is attributed to Florida's stringent requirements for early and mail-in votes to be processed promptly and its effective leadership under Governor Ron DeSantis. Florida, with a population of around 23 million, managed to count 7 million votes in just 45 minutes and 9 million votes within an hour. The state's performance has sparked discussions on the need for other states to adopt similar practices to ensure timely and transparent election results. Notably, Trump achieved a landslide victory in Florida.
