People are calling for the GOP to get with the program, but it’s a system that fundamentally favors urban party machines because it’s easier to ballot harvest from an apartment block than it is driving country roads.

Democrats changed the way we do elections in 2020, giving themselves weeks/months to canvas ghettos, nursing homes, etc squeezing ballots out of extreme low-propensity voters who don’t even know who’s on the ballot. It’s a fundamentally different political decision-making system.

Florida is a *supposedly* purple state where none of this is allowed, and we just saw what happened there. GOP state parties should replicate Florida’s rules everywhere they have power, and do what they can make up the difference in states where they don’t.

Biden didn’t even campaign and got 12m more votes and much better turnout than Obama in 2008. He got 16m more votes than Hillary in ‘16, even though Trump increased his vote total by 12m. The idea that this is due to anything but scamming mail-in/harvesting rules is absurd.

Democrats can’t ever allow improvements to election security, because the huge difference in their vote count pre- and post-reforms would beg too many questions. Florida has always been a 51-49 state, but went R+20 once basic election securities measures were put in place.

Yes and no. Many Conservative refugees from blue states have moved to Florida.

Exactly right.

And THAT is the big news out of Florida last Tuesday.
