57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.
And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.
Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don’t understand how it’s so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it’s because of the major cities.
Florida in the last 20-30 years has been a representative sample of retiree vote in the country. The boomers and Gen X that retiring now to Florida are just not progressively minded. The people that moved to Florida during the pandemic were also very hostile to blue state politics which is why they moved to Florida, which was perceived as a red state during that time period. Now we’re just living in that reality after all the dust has settled.
During the last few years and specifically during 2020 covid the majority of people moving out of my blue state went to Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Texas. Everyone that I knew of that leaned that way basically moved to a swing state.
Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.
And this fucker is about to win… I can’t believe this… And my state denied women abortion rights.
I hope every woman that voted for this isnt raped and forced to carry that baby.
And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.
My state is filled with idiots who won’t even vote for their own best interests
