If anyone had any doubt, Florida is officially Democrat territory. Registration for the state’s Aug. 26 primary, which will decide many local races, recently ended and here are the totals.

• Democrat: 4,389,698
• Republican: 3,924,081

The significant thing is the new voters are going Dem by about two-and-a-half to one.

Figures released Sunday night by Secretary of State Kurt Browning showed 252,631 new Democrats and 98,354 newly registered Republicans across Florida in the first seven months of this year. The number of no-party voters rose by 48,563 between the end of the year and the closing of books on July 28 for the state primaries.

That can’t be good for the guy who looks like he should be on a Boca Raton shuffleboard court instead of at a desk in the Oval Office.

Of course there are lots of people who don’t submit to the two-party hegemony, including our own no-party-affiliation Buck. He’s got plenty of company.

• Family Values Party: 443
• British Tea Party: 0 but someone did register the party just before the deadline
