Midterms could cement Florida’s status as a red state

I thought it was already. It's had a Republican legislature since at least 2000 and the only Democratic governor was Crist. How long ago was Crist and didn't he last just one term? He shouldn't have run. Like Beto in TX, he's a loser. The Dems need to be smarter who they pick to run.

It has swung back and forth several times. Crist did one term. I thought Beto would catch on on TX but that never seemed to happen.

Doubtful on "all red", but certainly Republicans will win all the statewide elections due to DeSantis's redistricting turning Florida into a single party state. Abbott has done the same thing in Texas.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you can't change facts.

"The outlook is already ominous for Florida Democrats. The number of registered Republican voters surpassed the number of registered Democrats last fall for the first time in the state’s modern political history. And that edge has only expanded since then.

In November 2021, there were about 6,000 more registered Republican voters than there were Democrats. As of the end of September, that advantage stood at nearly 300,000, according to data collected by the state. By comparison, in 2008, when former President Obama carried Florida by about 200,000 votes, there were nearly 700,000 more registered Democrats in the state than Republicans.

In another worrisome sign for Florida Democrats, Republicans pulled ahead in early voting on Thursday. Democrats have typically relied on building up a strong early vote advantage to make up for shortfalls in Election Day voting, which tends to be dominated by Republicans.

At the same time, the state Democratic Party is facing upheaval once again. Thomas Kennedy, a member of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), called on Thursday for state party Chair Manny Diaz to resign after the midterms, saying the party needs new leadership if Democrats want to remain a political force in Florida."
 
It’s not just braggadocio from Republican candidates and activists.

It’s not just the multiple polls, foreshadowing Republican wins and Democratic losses in the marquee elections in Florida.

And it’s not just the decisions by major Democratic donors and left-of-center interest groups to spend their money in states where they see a better chance of winning than Florida.

It’s hard, concrete numbers.

Republicans are ahead of Democrats in the number of mail ballots and in-person early votes cast, as of Friday morning. The two parties were evenly split 24 hours earlier; five days before, Democrats were ahead.

Any chance for Democratic victories in the big 2022 Florida races requires them to go into Nov. 8 with more ballots cast than Republicans, who consistently have better Election Day turnout.

Final tallies of people registered to vote in this year’s midterm election in Florida shows the Republican Party continuing to surge while the Democrats are stagnant.

The topline numbers: Florida has 5.28 million registered Republicans for the Nov. 8 election — an increase of more than 86,376 from the number of Republicans registered to vote in the August primary.

The state has 4.97 million Democrats — just 9,380 more than the number who were registered to vote in August.

That works out to more than nine new Republican registrants for every one new Democratic registered voter.

The latest numbers underscore the reality — calamitous for Democrats and heartening for Republicans — that Florida is leaving behind its longtime position as the biggest swing state in the country, one that could go either way in big elections, and is landing solidly in the Republican red column.

That's nice, but so what? What percentage of Floridians are Republicans? How does that change the fact about redistricting?

It appears Republicans are about a third of all registered voters:
https://dos.myflorida.com/elections...ports/voter-registration-by-county-and-party/
Republicans 5,259,406
Democrats 4,966,873
Minor Party 260,936
No Party 3,974,540
Total 14,461,755
 
I used to party in Florida frequently before it went complete insane.

Today, I'd almost rather vacation in North Korea.

Saw the fucking thing off the continent, but don't forget to scrape off the panhandle, too.

Other than Obama’s two elections, when was the last time the Gunshine State wasn’t a Red State?

Haven’t had a Democrat Governor in this Century, one Democrat Senator in last forty years, and the GOP has dominated the State Senate and House since 1998. And on top of that, DeSantis, through such as his election police and gerrymandering, has done his best to curtail any Democratic influence. Surprised Democrats are even allowed to vote in Florida

Understood how people are. About half of them are poorly-educated, not-so-bright sheeple who think sound-bites tell them everything they need to know.

Are you admitting you'd snitch on a pedophile, Matt? What about a murderer? A father whose kids always have broken arms and/or stitches?

Who would you snitch on and who wouldn't you snitch on, Matt? I'm curious about your morals in this regard.

I've already reported a pedophile. And fuck off with talking about "morals" you amoral sociopathic POS with pedophilia on the brain.

I used to deltree pedos on AOL for fun. That kept them gone for a while and was quite satisfying.

Would you snitch on me for deltreeing pedos on AOL? You certainly would if you could, creep.

You're just that snitchy of a bitch.
