A closer look at the results as they stood after the final recount on Nov. 7 when non-party affiliated candidate Joe Vinson pulled ahead by 14 votes, show that many voters in the city of Pensacola who otherwise voted Republican opted for Vinson over Hofberger. A precinct-level analysis also shows Vinson could’ve secured a stronger lead, but many voters who otherwise supported Democrats skipped voting in the race, especially those in the more racially diverse precincts of District 4.
