Judging by their actions, it’s pretty clear republicans in Florida think Gillum and Nelson have more then the necessary votes and have won their elections.

Its also crystal clear that Rod Rosenstein is the current acting Attorney General.

Whittaker looks like the thug who usually winds up hanging from a web outside a police station when Spider-Man gets through with him.

Historically Presidents with low approval ratings lose an average of 37-40 House Seats and two Senators.
The votes are still being counted but it appears the dems will gain far less in the House( but take control) while the GOP will PICK UP 4 seats in the Senate.

Dems will hit that 37 number in the House, against gerrymandering stacked against them.

And may end up losing only two seats (possibly only one depending on FL recount) after going up against the worst Senate map for any party in 60 years.

DeSantis was labeled as racist by the Gillum campaign from the start.

DeSantis used racist language against Gillum from the start.  Day one, in fact:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/29/us/politics/desantis-monkey-up-gillum.html

So yeah, the label sticks.

Looking at the two vote totals, though, the Felon Amendment could not have gathered 65% per cent in favor without a healthy faction of DeSantis voters.
Just my observation that voters can filter out campaign noise and do so more often than they are given credit for.

Its a nice observation.  But it has zero to do with Bart's post, or the issue at hand in FL right now.

Scott claiming voter fraud with no evidence (and with his own FDLE disagreeing)  and Trump parroting it is shameful.  Either you are a patriot and agree, or you are party-over-country.

Don't need to explain, REDSTATEWARD.  We know what you are.

Yeah, because nothing hurts racists more than being called for their racism...

I have no idea if this is true.  Neither do you.

I do know that what Gillum said was true.  And needed to be said.

Did you miss high school grammar classes when they taught the difference between nouns and verbs?

Chalk up reading comprehension as another high school class you missed.

Yep.  I expect a lot of voters were missing the information I provided in the rest of my post.  Political hacks like to encourage short-term thinking.
Several people ran against turning Arizona into California. I think if the do turn us into California, can we.get Big Sur?
Maybe. But right now Malibu has a fire sale.

LOL.  It isn't racist unless DeSantis actually calls Gillum a "monkey?" LOL.

DeSantis broke out the dog whistle the day after he won his nomination and your summation is "DeSantis was labeled as racist by the Gillum campaign from the start."  As usual with you and yours, the problem is always with those calling out the racism, not the racists. 

Funny thing is you think you are getting away with something here.  You aren't.  Everyone can see what you are.
