Midterms could cement Florida’s status as a red state

ORLANDO, Fla. – Democrats fear that 2022 could be the year Florida cements itself as a red state.

With little more than a week to go before Election Day, Republicans appear poised to once again dominate the state. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is running well ahead of his Democratic rival, former Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.), while Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) is struggling to break through in her bid to unseat Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) 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.

It is going to be very interesting to see how the PR's who have vacated to Florida because their island is such a disaster vote.

That article also goes on to mention the Dems are better on mail in ballots


And the the younger people usually vote the second week of early voting as per all previous elections


It’s way closer than you offered up there in that part of the article

If independents sway left


DeSatan and the Rs could be in trouble
 
Let’s remember


Independents are about half ex Republicans


You know


People pissed off at the party so they left it



Like because they hate trump
 
Sixty-seven percent of independents said they do not want Trump to run again, while just 28% said they do. In 2020, Trump lost independents and lost the election. In 2016, Trump fared better with the group, but throughout his presidency and afterward he suffered with them and has never regained them.

Your takes tend to be extremely partisan.

Wanting FL to be a solid red state isn't the same as FL being a solid red state.

The zeal in which political extremists seek to make their state or the nation a "One Party State" is disturbing because it reeks of euro authoritarianism.
