Latonia Nelson, a 51-year-old teacher living in Miami Gardens, voted at the North Dade Regional Library on Monday. As an African-American woman, she knew the presidential candidate she marked on her ballot isn't the most popular in her community. The last time Nelson was at the polls, she voted for Barack Obama for the second time in 2012. This year, Nelson cast her ballot for former President Donald Trump. "If they're Black, they're voting Democrat ... Not this time," Nelson said. "I feel like I woke up." Nelson was one of thousands in Miami-Dade County to cast their ballots on the first day of early in-person voting for the 2024 general election in South Florida. In addition to choosing a president, voters will be able to decide on constitutional amendments to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults and end Florida's six-week abortion ban. Miami-Dade County will also be choosing the first sheriff in 60 years.
