The map shows the results of the 2022 gubernatorial (governor) election in Florida. Map titled 2022 Florida Gubernatorial Election. Dark red represents Republican greater than 90%. Medium red represents Republican 80% to 90%. Red represents Republican 70% to 80%. Dark pink represents Republican 60% to 70%. Pink represents Republican 50% to 60%.

Jacksonville is labeled in a light pink county. Gainesville is labeled in a light blue county. Orlando is labeled in a light blue county. Tampa is labeled in a light pink county. St. Petersburg is labeled in a light pink county. Ft. Lauderdale is labeled in a light blue county. Miami is labeled in a light pink county Which of the following statements can you prove to be true using this map? The majority of Republican voters live in urban areas with high population density. The Democratic and Republican vote was evenly distributed across the state. The west coast of the state was carried by Republicans. The majority of the Democratic vote came from the southeastern portion of the state.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided in the map, we will conclude that the majority of Republican voters live in urban areas with high population density.

The choice is evident from the concentration of dark red and medium red areas representing Republican strongholds in urban centers such as Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. These urban counties have higher population densities and predominantly Republican support.

The claim that the Democratic and Republican vote was evenly distributed across the state is not supported by the map. But instead, the map clearly shows a stark contrast between predominantly Republican areas in the northwest and central parts of the state and predominantly Democratic areas in the southeast.

The west coast of the state including counties like Gasden County leans more towards the Democrats as indicated by the blue and light blue areas. Therefore, we cannot conclude that the vote was evenly distributed.

Therefore, the Option A is correct.
