On a completely unrelated matter, yet on another primary that took place today, 1 of the 2 that seemed to be the most talked about on X (the other being Fishback vs Donalds):
🚨2.) Dan Bilzerian

🚨3.) Google AI:
“During the 2020 election aftermath, viral claims circulated that Donald Trump’s vote totals were decreasing or being “switched” during live broadcasts.
Many viral posts featured a video clip or screenshot of CNN’s live election night broadcast from Pennsylvania.
The Claim: Social media users pointed out a specific moment where Donald Trump’s vote count dropped by exactly 19,958 votes, while Joe Biden’s count simultaneously increased by 19,958 votes. Posts claimed this snippet proved electronic vote manipulation.
The Reality: The screenshot captured a temporary human data-entry error. The analytics firm Edison Research, which provides live data feeds to CNN and other major networks, clarified that a brief reporting glitch occurred when a county mistakenly aggregated vote totals. The error was caught and corrected on air within minutes, which briefly caused the numbers on the screen to shift back to their accurate certified counts.”
Many Republicans at the time claimed Trump had votes taken away.
I’m not sure what Trump claimed afterwards, and I’ve not been persuaded Trump was cheated, nor am I certain Dan Bilzerian had votes taken away.
I just hope Fishback’s team would stop spamming me. I don’t live in Florida and I’m sure they’ve politically exempted themselves from anti-spamming laws but I get bombarded with email and spam texts and I can’t seem to block them. For that, I hope he loses.
My goodness, you guys sure are hoping! lol
Byron wins in a walk.
Fishback won 89% of the vote in the Florida State University precinct.
Look at the number of actual votes at FSU.
Voter apathy wins elections for liberals.
18-30 year olds are hell bent for socialism and energized in that direction.
If conservatives can’t or won’t get out the vote, we’ll all be living under the AOC’s and Mondami’s of the world.
I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Why are you assuming the 784,890 votes are anti-Byron?
Collins won by far the biggest share of the 784,890. A successful term(s) as Lt. Governor is a pretty good resume enhancer, and, he certainly has the greater executive experience. Most of his positions on issues look good. Those are pretty good reasons for a positive vote.
“Fishback won 89% of the vote in the Florida State University precinct.”
That is because young people vote by text message now.
James Fishback, who don’t know much of, looked like he ran to the RIGHT of Bryon and Jay. I just looked at his website and you might here more from him... Florida Republicans bench is deep..
James at Ten Percent.
This is going to be a very hard pill to swallow for many FReepers but the future of the Republican party is America First. It showed in Fishback’s loss. It showed in Massie’s loss.
The boomers and GenXers are the only things keeping the old globalist/America Second, GOP afloat. Their time is coming to an end.
As was noted on patriots.win, Florida universities are not in session, so Fishbeck “won” the few permanent residents. Tl;dr: fake news.
Audit voter rolls. Wanna bet how many illegals are on campus? Anyone here on a visa cannot vote.
