"We tracked down Florida Man to ask, ‘Trump or Clinton?’"

"Calls placed to more than 100 numbers listed for Florida Men were mostly wrong or disconnected. Ironically, not a single working number could be found for the Florida Man banned from ordering pizza after allegedly prank-calling pizzerias from his five different phone lines.

The number listed for a Florida Man bitten on the lip by the snake he kept in his pillowcase connected to a Wal-Mart...

The lesson learned from talking to Florida Man: He’s not always who you assume. Sometimes, the charges have been dropped, and he has a pretty reasonable explanation for whatever it was he did. Sometimes he finds he’s become Florida Man simply by engaging in a form of valid social protest that lends itself to a sensational headline. Sometimes he’s polite, tragic, penitent, regretful, recovering. It’s messier than what can be captured in 140 characters.
In the end, a reporter was able to make contact with 11 Florida Men to ask who they endorse for president."
