A quick note on Florida:

Biden lost by about 400K votes. Gov. DeSantis worked VERY hard to maintain the disenfranchisement of the *1.4 million* Formerly incarcerated folks that Florida voters said should have their rights back.

.@FLRightsRestore did a TON of work to get fines and fees paid and folks registered and turned out after hard rulings. @Dreamdefenders & others did a TON of work to organize the community

Do NOT paint FL w a broad brush OR discount the role of suppression.

It is wrong to do so

Dems lead the polls by a few points up to election day, then lose by a few points going the other way.

Don't tell me there isn't some hanky-panky going on.

accept without question the results of our elections. Not only that, but state as fact the assumed vote count, including race, education, gender, etc., of the last election. That is what we base the facts of today on...the lies of yesterday. Even though it is never checked for accuracy. With all the myriad of ways, some states attempt to prevent people from voting, you would think people might be curious.

The very fact that they are being disenfranchised and ONLY by Republicans, means at the very least that the Republicans are not interested in representation of all the people.
