Fried, the state agriculture commissioner, won in Alachua, Bay and Walton counties.

Crist, a Pinellas County congressman, won by large margins in most of the state’s most-populous counties. As examples, he beat Fried by 52,306 votes in the Democratic stronghold of Broward County and by 39,045 votes in Miami-Dade County.
