DeSantis ran a relatively weak campaign in 2018 due to inexperience in Florida statewide campaigns and lack of a network of political contacts and organization throughout the state. Florida's “Red Wave” in 2022 was due to the continuing decline of the state Democratic Party's headquarters operation and a major influx of new Republican voters. Better laws against vote fraud also helped, but not enough to account for the Florida GOP's great results in 2022.

That's all quite debatable. The world being as complex as it is, there are very few things that can be reduced to a few factors. Florida's restoration of it's voting system started back when Charlie Crist was governor, incredibly enough, and Jeb Bush also did some good work there, to give credit where credit is due. Add to that the fact that growth of the GOP in the sunshine state over the last few years, along with the fact that Ron DeSantis has stood head and shoulders above the vast majority of Republican leaders nationwide in 2022, and... voila.

Desantis huge victory was due to
his firing of the Broward county Black Commie Voter supervisor and her all Black Staff plus the Palm Beach Voter supervisor being forced to resign and Miami Dade forced to Clean up its voter rolls .
The new Dem voter cheat central will be Orange and Osceola.
A black Dem candidate just blew the whistle on the Black voter harvesting operations there .
