Elections were held in Florida on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Primary elections were held on August 24, 2010. Florida had 4.6 million Democrats and 4 million Republicans. The latter outpolled Democrats among the 2.4 million independent voters and attracted conservative Democrats in cross-party voting. While running behind Republicans generally, the Democrats ran strongly in every urban area of the state. They lost by lopsided margins in the far Panhandle, Southwest Florida and the Space Coast.[1] FederalUnited States Senate{{main|United States Senate election in Florida, 2010}}{{see also|United States Senate elections, 2010}}Main contenders for Florida's open Senate seat include Republican Marco Rubio, Democrat Kendrick Meek, and independent Charlie Crist, along with many other third-party and independent candidates.
