Discussion: DeSantis Suspends FL County Elections Chief For Missing Recount Deadlines

Let’s see, Southern white Republican male bigot suspends Democratic black woman from post as Elections Chief. Not much really new here, seems rather typical of Florida.

The whole disfunctional Florida election system needs to be cleaned up .
Actually Desantis may be the one to do it
I have been pleasantly surprised as he has completely dropped the Trump shtick and is actually making positive changes. Republicans can govern contrary to popular belief
He is making dramatic changes to reverse the environmental havoc wrought by 8 years of Voldemort Rick Scott
He is shitcannng crony waterboards and blocking everglades sellouts to big sugar


Also correcting a fight against smoking medical Marijuana approved by a 70 % referendum that the republicans have been fighting for 2 years

We’ll see how the rest of his agenda shakes out , but I am not as terrified as I was during the campaign

That’s…weird. Maybe someone got it through his head that the old white people vote is finally dying out

Yeah, same here. Totally skeptical but willing to see a tiny sliver of light.

Pretty amazing on its face, but on the other hand Florida (or Louisiana) will likely be the first US state to become permanently inundated otherwise.

It’s already too late for Florida.

They’re already building up roads to deal with rising sea waters, and the rise in sea levels is just getting started.

So election counting machinery and deadlines that work in small and medium counties break down in large population counties. Is there something about large counties that disfavors the political party that set up these procedures and deadlines? What a coincidence!

Huh. I don’t know if I can stomach cautious optimism from just these two items though.
