FL Numbers Don't Make Sense - Check This Out

An industrious poster provided this spreadsheet link of Fl counties by voting method that includes party ID percentages etc.

This just doesn't look possible. Look at the optical scan precincts and the ridiculously high over-performance of Reps and dismal under-performance of Dems.
I did the aggregate math and show that of the optical scan precincts, the total number of votes over/under that would be expected by party ID is
Rep +521,993 (36% over expected)
Dem -57,729 (-3.8% under expected)
Maybe this is real demographic shift, and true party switching but it sure doesn't make sense to me. Anyone from these FL counties think this makes sense?
