Florida! Florida! Florida! Presidential Elections and the Sunshine State
Days before the 2000 presidential election, NBC News political reporter Tim Russert was asked on air about the key to winning the election. He wrote his response on a whiteboard. “FLORIDA FLORIDA FLORIDA” Russert’s words could have applied to many past presidential elections as well. Beginning with the controversial election of 1876, Florida has played a key role in many presidential elections. “Florida! Florida! Florida! Presidential Elections and the Sunshine State” explores Florida’s role in presidential elections through letters, documents, and artifacts from the George A. Smathers Libraries Special and Area Studies Collections. Curated by Boyd Murphree. All exhibits are free and open to the public during the same hours as the building in which they are housed, unless otherwise specified and with occasional exceptions for maintenance.
