During the pandemic, some states thought it was necessary to loosen the usual voting rules in order to maximize participation in the process. Republicans, by and large, thought this was an outrage, because it would lead to fraud. They never found any, but they screamed about it all the same. They still do.
Today, Ian has created similar problems for voting in Southwest Florida. The difference, of course, is that Southwest Florida is a Republican stronghold. Do you think DeSantis and the GOP will insist on the same strict adherence to state voting rules that they thought was essential in 2020? Do you believe that tens of thousands of Republicans will consequently be denied the right to vote for DeSantis and Rubio in November?
Yeah, right. Fraud is a concept that only applies in large urban areas with predominantly minority populations, if you support the GOP.
A note to my readers: I will be returning to the Sunshine State to deal with the damage to my house starting tomorrow. Regular posts will resume when I return.
