Mar 2020

It took the embarrassment of the 2000 election to get the Republican led Florida legislature to allow mail in voting by choice and to all early voting. I worry they will pull those since both of those methods seem to favor Democratic voters but I think even their own voters would revolt if they tried to pull them now.

Keep working on them - and I hope you can get the systems changed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
