(4,723 posts)78. I lived in Florida for six years
Tallahassee. During my time there, I visited about every county in the northern 2/3 of the state. Most of it seemed like one big tourist trap, and the parts that didn't have that feel were often just depressing to be in. If I ever go to Florida again, it will be too soon. I didn't have issues voting in Leon County, but it sounds like a LOT of counties just can't seem to get it together. And, it seems like too many residents of the Sunshine State just don't care about that.

I suspect voter suppression had more to do with this than the actual will of voters.

Yes. I don't like such broad brush statements either. The problem is the entrenched powers...
