“In danger of…” Your own words here are the piece you are missing in all of this.
DeSantis was not facing a situation anything close to the national situation. I don’t mean that as a denegration of his Florida accomplishment. He had the elected legislature, the SOS, and the AG. He had the entire power structure with him…and it was one state that was already majority Republican, with a solid history of Republican governors and legislatures. He did the right thing anyway, and credit to him.
He could never do that on a national scale. He would get crushed. America is already blue. In the crucial states that are turning like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada - even Georgia under co-pored Republicans Kemp and Raffensperger- who are fine with election corruption as long as you personally leave them alone - in those places he would have zero chance and zero support for Florida style changes. Much less so in the big blue states of the west coast, Colorado, and the entire northeast and Great Lakes.
The critical part is Florida “was in danger of” not that it had already hardened its election corruption system. It never went blue. That’s why he could do it. In most of America - and in ALL of the America that matters on this, what he did there is impossible to achieve.
That is why now it is better to destroy the system nationally, or break the nation up entirely, than to try and gain support - which will never be gained if you tried for a hundred years - for reforming it.
Never went Blue? Try checking past Governors and Senators before recent history
Did Obama not win Florida BOTH TIMES?
Did not Gore come within 600 votes of doing so?
Graham ring a bell?
