Florida Election Results

[Tony_FLADEM]

I'm watching the election results.

50% of Dems voted

65% of Reps voted

Had the Dems turnout been 70% they would have won.


The last I saw there were 714,000 D mail ballots not returned.

1. Florida never does

They never do.

2. No Surprise

3. Florida is no longer a swing state.

They are lean red, and moving further right.

4. The FL Democratic Party is the most inept state party. If it had any organization

at all we would’ve won this election, 2018, 2014 and several others. We haven’t won a gubernatorial race since 1994. Do the math on how long. We haven’t held the legislature since 1998. We don’t win presidential elections save for Obama who was a generational candidate. We don’t win senate seats anymore.

The leadership of the FL Dems is made of grifters who don’t want to win and Washington consultants who don’t know the state.

I’ve tried volunteering and I know one state rep personally, but the party in Florida is so lame!

We’ve run milk toast moderates like Crist. We’ve won progressives like Gillum. We’ve lost.

Utah, Alabama, and Kansas have more effective state parties. I hope leadership of the Florida Dems is reading this because we need a house cleaning. Just look at the win/loss records and you’ll see I’m objectively pointing out true facts.

5. This sounds very very strange. I'm looking forward to learning

what happened to the 714,000 missing DEM mail-in ballots.

6. The voters didn't return their absentee ballots

7. Sorry but if 50% of FL Dems couldn't get off their ass to vote in this election, they deserve

whatever shit the Repubs ram down their throats in Florida. Regardless of the inept leadership of the FL Dem party.

8. The low Democratic turnout is shocking.

In recent years, at least, Republican turnout always exceeds Democratic turnout, so it is expected. What is not expected is a 15 point difference. In 2020, the difference was less than 6%.

Since I have been involved (10 years), messaging has been the province of the candidates and turnout has been the job of the local county parties. Our county party raised enough money to be able to send out a slate card/voting reminder to all registered Democrats. We also had a series of GOTV phone banks to help drive turnout. Our county's turnout was more than 11 points higher than the state average. We still finished 11 points behind the Republicans in our county.

IMHO, Florida Democratic voters are demoralized and that needs to be addressed.

10. Agreed!

I couldn't believe my eyes that Democratic turnout was so low.

9. Florida Democrats are unreliable as fuck. I was so disappointed at that turnout
