It may be a long shot, but with Abortion AND Cannabis both on the ballot, it’s a very distinct possibility
I want to be hopeful, but on the other hand I am considering the possibility that the inverse might occur: if there were complacent conservatives who would otherwise have stayed home because they were confident that the MAGA candidates would safely win, but instead decide to show up anyways because Jesus told them they have important rights to destroy.
Registered Republicans still significantly outnumber registered Democrats in Florida, so I am trying to keep realistic expectations.

Aren’t there loads of cases of removing voters from being able to vote? Further, dividing areas of voters in such a way that it isn’t about getting the majority of the votes.
I predict abortion rights will win handily, cannabis wins but not as easily, and then the vote for president will go to trump.
Betteridge’s Law says “no” but my desire to continue living on this planet says “hopefully yes”
Remember when Trump mentioned that he’d helped DeSantis find votes like he was asking Georgia to do for him?
Funny how that disappeared, never to be discussed again.
But anyway, I have a feeling that Florida is very high on the list of states likely to pull some backhanded bullshit this election year and regardless of how many people vote blue, Florida will go red anyway.
This turn to the hard right is a recent thing. America is not sending us their best. I grew up with Walkin’ Lawton Childs, Askew and Graham did good things for the state before him, it was a mix of everyone and still is where I am. So eventually maybe Florida works it’s way into these people’s kids and we go back to purple.
But this year? Next year? I don’t have much hope for that. Thought we couldn’t do worse than Rick Scott, what a piece of work shyster he is, literal criminal who defrauded the government working now in government. DeSantis has him beat I think in actual harm to the people of the state, though.
No.
I hope so, but I doubt it. Not because we don’t have the votes to turn it blue mind you. We do, but the state government is so corrupted at this point that a fair election is impossible.
Nothing brings conservatives to the polls harder than there being important ballot measures to quash. Marijuana and abortion are both on the ballot. Every single conservative in Florida is going to make sure to show up for this one.
They still failed to defeat the marijuana and the abortion ballot measure in Ohio so hopefully that will happen again in Florida.
