Gov. Death Sentence has killed off his margin of victory

[mcar]

As seen in an LTE in my local rag in my very red county.

"Gov. DeSantis’ margin of victory in 2018 was 32,463. Florida’s COVID deaths, as of today (July 26), were 38,670. COVID has already killed off more Floridians than DeSantis won by in the governor’s race."

Nice job, Ron.

1. Or, so we were told to believe that he won with that slim margin.

2. I feel quite firmly that the 2018 Gov and Senate races were

tampered with.

The amendment to restore voting rights to returning citizens passed with 65%+ of the vote. Both Scott and Death Sentence won by a small margin. Who would vote for them and vote yes on that amendment? Makes no sense.

3. I agree.

[jimfields33]

4. Definitely

This margin thing is not accurate though. The numbers are true, but it definitely wasn’t exclusively DeSantis voters who died. I do wish we had the breakdown of numbers though. I think it would be beneficial for all.

10. Agree.

7. yup

22. Since 6/4, Florida has only reported one death, and that was on June 11th. They are suppressing it.

The top half of the site allows you to drill down and get stats for each county.

The bottom half is a chart, where you can see the national standards or select the state to the left and see those infected and those who died.

6. He is such an ugly man inside and outside

When I see his ugly face I get nauseous.

I just don’t see him as a good man in anyway. Wtf is wrong with the people in Florida.?

8. I've been asking that for the 30 years I've lived here

Or at least since the Jeb! era began.

11. Had all the 21st Century elections been fair we wouldn't have these problems. Just sayin'.

12. Unfortunately, Florida is growing...

... a lot of right wing nuts who don't think COVID is real are moving there. To my understanding despite the fact that he is killing people he has a high approval rating.

[IronLionZion]

15. Those are the types would get sick now

Believing it isn't real makes it more likely they will be infected and spread it to their family and friends

[nycbos]

16. Indeed.

However many people still don't believe the virus is real even after they get infected.

19. Maybe all people who think FL is a good place to live are already susceptible?

Did they buy their timeshare based on some T.V. huckster?
Did they decide to retire in FL because the same types of people are their friends?

Dunno. Causation/correlation/cwestions.

13. Local "community leader" hard core repub

died of covid yesterday. Refused to get the vaccine and when he got sick refused to go to the hospital. By the time they talked him into going he was dead within 24 hours. He was 55 and I have exactly zero shits to give. He could have used his position to encourage others to get the vaccine. Maybe his death will.

[Grokenstein]

14. ...and he's still going!

This sort of thing always has a tipping point.
Where is yours, Florida?
When are you going to stop him?

17. Even if they try, he'll just rig the voting machines again

(modems in the Flawrida machines)

And in the meantime, he'll use his Combatting Public Disorder Act to billy-club people - and worse.

20. Thanks for that link to the posting by sandensea in 2018. Certainly seems likely again.

After all, shrub won the vote in FL because of intimidation and rigging.

(Has any repug ever won based on their positive platform?)

[peppertree]

21. You're welcome. Flawrida has definitely imported Latin America's 'patriotic fraud' election model

"Only the qualified should vote," right-wingers used to say south of the border (hell, they still say that).

Any amount of tampering needed to produce the "right" result, was therefore "patriotic."
