Unfortunately the State Legislature is responsible for voting laws. In particular Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania are the Swing States.

Arizona's Secretary of State won the Governorship DESPITE in your face cheating. Voting machines didn't work, wrong sized ballots, etc. it took Arizona a month to count votes. It was a total disgrace under then Secretary of State Katie Hobbs now Governor.

Georgia has become a laughingstock under Kemp.

Wisconsin has a Republican House and a Republican Senate BUT a Democrat Governor, Secretary of State and AG.

In Michigan the Democratic Party controls the offices of governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and both chambers of the state legislature.

In Pennsylvania tje Democratic Party controls the offices of governor, attorney general, and the lower chamber of the state legislature, while the Republican Party controls the office of secretary of state and the upper chamber of the state legislature.

I am happy to say under Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis Florida cleaned up its act. The change came from voters.

Do not forget that never in America's voting history did 5 states stop counting ballots. Then in the wee hours of the morning thousands upon thousands of ballots showed up for Biden. Unbelievable! Since Biden and the Deep State have made it a crime to question the vote we will never know the depth of The Cheat.

Michigan and Pennsylvania are not the swing states, Trump caught the Democrats napping in 2016.

Other swing states to your list are Nevada and North Carolina.

“Yes, I am guilty.

You are evil and a listless vessel!

You re-read it. If you say, we Freepers should stay away from racism, you aren’t implying all freepers are racist. It is simply a warning to think a bit.

I’m sure I’ve watched via computer at least 25 rallies, and never saw any less crowd than this. Trump voters are the most entertained voters.

"implying that Trump Supporters were "listless vessels""

If the shoe fits, wear it. You follow a man, not principles. You lick his Gucci loafers no matter what he does. "Listless vessel" perfectly describes you. I applaud DeSantis saying this.

It’s amazing how easily Trump can insult his appononts and they come unglued. None of them seem have the art of comedy. All they could turn the hits around and make them funny. Don’t tell anyone I suggested this.

Ron DeSantis would have more appeal if he spoke American English more often.

I'll bet nobody in my extended family even knows what a "listless vessel" is.  I had to Google it -- and I'm still not sure what DeSantis meant because the words are not really in the American vocabulary.

A big part of leading any large organization is communicating effectively with people at all levels -- not just the brainy managers and technicians, but also the Joe Six-Packs and Jill Wine-Coolers who are crucial to any human enterprise --large or small.

Ron was certainly born with a silver spoon in his mouth, in the sense that he's intelligent, has degrees from Yale and Haaaa...vard, and knows the language of attorneys.

But Ron lacks the "common touch" -- kind of surprising actually when you realize Ron's a politician.  And casually calling MAGA voters "listless vessels" is an indicator of how out of touch he is.

His aloofness from We the People is one reason he draws only a couple dozen people to his events in Iowa.  Meanwhile Trump easily fills big arenas with supporters.

Another factor working against DeSantis is his lack of national name-recognition.  Sure, FReepers know something about DeSantis because we follow politics.  But frankly, across Rush's "fruited plain" he's not well-known.

Yet, before Trump ran for President, he was already a widely known celebrity and businessman.  And he grew the Trump Organization into a world-recognized brand in hotels, golf, media, and other ventures.

But Ron has never really had any private business experience either.  After college, he spent a few years as a Navy JAG Corps officer and a year after leaving, he ran for Congress.  My guess is he was being groomed by the Donor class to become another Mitt Romney.

So these are a few reasons to explain why the Ron DeSantis brand is failing to catch fire.
