You can silence the skeptics. Just cast a ballot | Steve Bousquet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Simple math: The party that gets more of its supporters out to vote in November usually wins. In five weeks or so, the people of Florida will elect a U.S. senator and governor. They also will decide the most consequential tax question in Florida history with Amendment 3. As millions of mail ballots find their way to households, both sides are cranking up their get-out-the-vote operations. On paper, Republicans in Florida have a huge advantage in total registered voters of about 1.6 million. Demo
Subpoenas and speculation flying in Broward | Steve Bousquet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Subpoenas are flying in Broward, and so are juicy rumors. Around lunchtime Wednesday, three heavily armed sheriff’s deputies were hovering outside the county commission offices in Fort Lauderdale, waiting to serve papers on two commissioners. The oddly aggressive show of force toward elected officials was one of many signs that something was just not right. Mayor Mark Bogen and Commissioner Beam Furr were served first, and mostly by coincidence. They were at County Hall to take part in a photo-o
Florida voters have a history of pulling surprises | Steve Bousquet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sixty years ago, they elected the outlandish Claude Kirk governor. Forty years ago, they made Bob Butterworth attorney general, when even his friends said it couldn’t be done. Eight years ago, a socialist-leaning Democrat, Andrew Gillum, came within an eyelash of being governor. Despite pollsters’ best efforts to forecast outcomes, voters have their own ideas. Take Angie Nixon. Her stunning 12-point victory in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate seemingly caught the entire state by surprise.

Read excerpt
David Jolly talked about hope and hate and, of course, Byron Donalds. The Democratic candidate for governor visited friendly turf in Tallahassee Friday. First he met with Black community leaders, where he defended diversity, equity and inclusion, and said leaders have neglected Florida A&M University for too long. Then he and running mate Gwen Graham met some 200 supporters at a distillery. So many showed up, it was moved outdoors. It was an older gathering — too old, in fact. Many in the crowd
The art of the possible for Florida Democrats | Steve Bousquet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For Democrats in Florida, this is going to be extremely difficult. But it’s not impossible. It happened before — 44 years ago. That’s how long it has been since the Democrats in Florida won races for Senate and governor in the same election. As it happened in 1982, contests for Florida Senate and governor fell on the same ballot. That doesn’t happen very often, because senators serve for six years and governors for four. The fact that both races are on this year’s ballot is an oddity in itself.
