After the 2020 erection cycle, FL made it much harder for people to request and get mail in ballots. This especially applies to deployed military/families who now have to request a ballot for every erection. Now a request and ballot have to go potentially half way round the world 2x. In 2020 DeJoys "post office" took more than a day to expedite ballots 50 miles, so how long could it take for a ballot from the "USS Eisenhower" deployed in the middle of the Indian Ocean to get to FL.When it was pointed out to DEATHsantis that military people could be disenfranchised because of the new requirements for mail in voting, he outright said that the military was the only group of people he didn't want to disenfranchise.

you would have to get actual democrats to run the party, not "Debbie, my best friends are republicans". A party that nominates and active drug addict for governor.

It's not the heat it's the humidity.

Bet everyone here is wrong. I buy online from within the state. Everything is available and federally legal. State cards are also obtained online and legally, easy to get. Did you really think that a cash crop like cannabis would actually be denied to the powers that be who are wanting to stuff their pockets with hard earned peon money? You don't know Florida. If you know the right people (law enforcement) and have enough money you can do what you want. The cops in general are lazy and don't want to be bothered. The local neighborhood also continues to do a brisk business. My husband is a small grower and even he can sell "legally" to the right people. This is all through the federal government and the Farm Bill. It's all about money here...nothing is what it seems.

What would be the mechanism? Voter suppression? Police violence? I suppose you could have an "unconstitutionalism review" of .all its new laws. Conducted by its own high schoolers. The ones who didn't get to take that AP course on Black history.

I don't know. But I would think the feds could do something if these out of control fascist states just keep robbing vulnerable populations of their civil rights.

Florida just continuing its tradition of being a haven for felons, shysters, and crazies. DeSantis just the worst of them right now.

Too bad the most interesting part of this was left out.

While I'm glad he can acknowledge his mistakes (albeit only on occasion), and is trying to do better, at some point one does need to make a concerted, conscious effort to change one's behavior. As an erudite philosopher once said "fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, can't get fooled again. Fool me three times, knock on the ceiling if you want me." Or something like that.

If you do this to my congressional district can you please remove Lynchburg but leave Charlottesville in the United States?

These assholes aren't voting with their cerebellums. They're voting with their amygdalas.
