How about boosting the funding for FEMA? Another cluster fuck in the making thanks to the GOP.
Why? If people die because they don't fund fema and Florida governor don't take calls from Harris, then they blame it in Biden's America. The immigrants took all the funding for hurricanes, remember?
Ugh, I hate so many things right now.
To be honest this Guarantees Florida goes Red this round when it was getting close to turning back to purple. Tampa and Orlando both vote Blue, and many people will get displaced. Mail will be lost, voting locations will be destroyed, and you can't just show up to any polling place to vote. "Oh you moved across the state because your house is flooded, well you can vote 350 miles from where you are now, or you can vote by mail, we sent it to your mailbox that doesn't exist anymore"
That is so incredibly fuuuuuuucked
Yarp, remember Florida took to long in 2000 to get the votes counted when Florida's supreme Court was turned down by the U.S. supreme Court to allow time to do one final recount as things were off.
They awarded all 25 Florida electorial votes to George Bush, and Gore stepped down to allow it to be a civil process.
If it takes to long to count Desantis only needs one round of Votes to show they were ahead, and stall on placing electors using his election police he created at his side to help the U.S. supreme Court double down on their original ruling 24 years ago

The count showed Gore won the Vote, would have won the election. Without it, we may have never invaded Iraq.

Since then, Florida has outgrown New York, going from 25 electoral votes to 30. The effects of Florida going 1 way or another is huge
