BronMason For Kamala 2024How the hell did he get elected to anything? What’s wrong with Florida?
🌊Ann Morris🐕🍀🌎🌊🌊@bronakins @bkm gerrymandering
Yes, there’s plenty of gerrymandering in FL, but Governor is elected by statewide majority. In 2018 desantis won a squeaker requiring a recount against Tallahassee mayor Gillum.
In 2022 the Dems didn’t even try — they nominated former Repub Gov & failed Senate candidate Crist — desantis won a landslide.
Guess that lopsided victory made desantis think he was a contendah! 🤷🏼♀️
@bronakins @bkm I lived there for 20 years , starting when the last Democratic governor died in office. I saw the state deteriorating slowly because of the republicans who gerrymandered the state.
Palm Beach County DSA@AnnMorris @bronakins @bkm doesn't change that the GOP has surpassed the Democratic party in voter registration.
Governor is a state-wide race, gerrymandering would impact the state house and senate, not the governor's office.
@palmbeachdsa that makes no sense whatsoever. You say the Governor and legislature are on separate ballots? Funny, my ballots had both.
“Palm” is saying that gerrymandering is when a state is divided into districts for the purpose of voters voting for a representative from district, the division of the state into districts is done unfairly to favor one party. Elections for these district representatives are on the same ballot as voting for statewide candidates like governor & US Senator, but the ballot in different districts will have different candidates for the district.
@bronakins @AnnMorris right - seats like Governor, Agriculture & Consumer Services (for example) are state-wide seats, so politically based lines within the state won't impact them in the same way that the same lines would impact the members of the houses of representatives.
