As vote counts continue to be posted, it is clear that Republican hopes and dreams of a huge wave election have been dashed. Instead of a large House majority and solid control of the Senate, Republicans will be lucky to have small majorities in each chamber, and even that outcome is not secure at this moment.
But in one state, Florida, Republicans have triumphed in tsunami-like proportions. With 98% of the vote counted, Marco Rubio has a 16.4% landslide lead over Senate challenger Val Demings, and Governor Ron DeSantis has a 19.4% lead, a gigantic increase over his fraction-of-one-percent squeaker victory four years ago.
It's going to take some time to figure out why the rest of the country isn't behaving like the Sunshine State, but three factors suggest themselves.
Ron DeSantis displayed gutsy leadership in confronting COVID, enduring taunts as "DeathSantis" and far worse as he refused to cower before the might of Dr. Fauci, the medical establishment, Big Pharma, the media, and Democrat politicians. As a result, Florida prospered as other states closed down their businesses and schools. (The other governor who resisted the panic, South Dakota's Kristi Noem, won with an even bigger margin: 26.8 points with 97% of the vote counted.)
Voting integrity systems were put in place in Florida after the state became a national laughingstock in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, and "hanging chad" became a symbol of questionable vote totals. Florida permits any registered voter to request an absentee ballot, but the request has to be received by the office of the local supervisor of elections by the close of business ten days before the election. Only the voter or an immediate family member can make the request. There are no mass mailings of vote-by-mail ballots.

That’s where people fled to
Florida cleaned up their voting. Other states still have problems with fraud.
Also helping out election integrity, former Governor, now FL Senator Rick Scott, fumigated the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office when he fired Brenda Snipes in 2018.
Georgia next?
We already had 50 senators BEFORE the election!!, there honestly wasn’t much left to gain in a country fairly evenly divided.
The fact is, we have gained the house, and maybe the Senate. I will take that any day.
A win is a WIN!! this is like being sad that your team only won the super bowl by a point, when it was thought you might win by 20.
Because 49 states have gone Crony Communist??
Vote by mail allows easy cheating.
With all due respect, I think Texas had a pretty good red storm surge ourselves.
Although, the large cities are still a shambles, and I’ll bet fraud and cheating is a large part of that debacle, as well.
Article makes it sound like our vote security was cleaned up 20 years ago. Truth is a lot has been done since just the last election.
I’d put Texas in there too.
Are Rats not done dumping fake ballots into the mix?
Kudos to Texas for kicking Beto to the curb a third time.
Republicans won seats they shouldn’t have in Virginia and Florida.
no mass mail in
The red wave occurred where voting is secure. Florida and MAYBE Ohio.
Bingo.
With the level of corruption, and the Democrats perfecting fraud and mind games, most people just don’t want to deal with it. They want to vote and magically wake up to something better. Evil does not rest nor gives up the fight. If you want to win, you have to stay vigilant.
” There are no mass mailings of vote-by-mail ballots.”
****
BINGO!! remove this from ALL voting and you’ll see the actual red wave.
Unless you're betting the spread.
