To mainly complain about the shady things going on with elections and voting. The Reps had workers answering the phone and I had to leave a VM for Rick Scott. I told them I would not vote for the Republicans and that I used to be a Republican (I did vote for a Republican once about 50 years ago.) I also said I was going to encourage my relatives in Michigan not to vote Republican.if you see pigs flying, that means my brother and aunt voted for Dems.
