FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - For the third day in a row, anti-Donald Trump protestors hit the streets of South Florida.

This time hundreds of people marched in Fort Lauderdale. Protestors said they fear what the future looks like with Trump in the White House.

"My fear is that Trump is going to put in the Supreme Court the people that he has named that are extreme right-wing and if he does that, the wheels are going to start turning," said demonstrator Angie Amil.

Demonstrators marched down Las Olas Boulevard, A1A and Broward Boulevard where they briefly stopped traffic.

People who watched the demonstrators march by commended them on how peaceful the protest was.

"I'm proud of the people here in South Florida, they're not rioting and trying to hurt businesses, smashing things," said John Allred, who is a Donald Trump supporter. "They're doing it peacefully and they're being really nice."

One woman, however, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct according to Fort Lauderdale police.

Friday, City of Miami Police say up to 3,000 anti-Trump demonstrators shut down traffic on the Macarthur Causeway and I-95. Saturday, dozens held a protest in Wynwood.

In Fort Lauderdale, demonstrators said what they hoped happens following marches like these is that the voting system changes.

"It seems to be like it was a system that was created for a purpose at the beginning of our republic and may be time to refocus on that to think it's an outdated system," said protestor Steven Thunberg.
