In addition to the news reporting, the nonpartisan League of Women Voters (www.lwv.org) is an excellent organization, not just for women! They have a First Coast Chapter, LWVFL.org with many opportunities to learn and get involved.
If this recent voting cycle doesn’t serve as a wake up call to vote, I just don’t know what it will take. On the national level, the ‘flood the zone’ list of atrocities on our democracy is mind blowing. And the latest reboot of McCarthyism is hard to fathom but maybe not unexpected. And looking at our state and local politics, our way of life has been impacted more than many might admit. Remember delaying or hiding COVID data? Thank our Governor! Locally let’s not forget the JEA sale theatrics! Thank our Mayor (who facilitated the appt of the imprisoned JEA CEO) and certain council members at the time. Every VOTE counts. Thank you Sherry.
We may have reached the point in US history that the maxim, the ballot or the bullet, is in play. Not that Florida is likely to have federal intervention in the Nov. elections as our MAGA masters are working assiduously to lock down the state. But the states on your map with the highest turnouts, primarily blue states, are likely to feel the heat from Trump's SAVE bill -- if it becomes law. The ease with which the FBI was able to waltz into Georgie and leave with dozens of boxes containing ballot materials from 2020 is a marker; who could now look at those same records and imagine them to be untainted?
