TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that creates a police force dedicated to pursuing voter fraud and other election crimes, but that's not all it does.

The bill signed on Monday also eliminates ranked-choice voting for all elections in Florida.


quote:

Senate Bill 524 specifically said it was "prohibiting the use of ranked-choice voting to determine election or nomination to elective office; voiding existing or future local ordinances authorizing the use of ranked choice voting."

This means cities or counties can't pass their own laws on ranked-choice voting.

It’s wonderful what can be accomplished when you have a Republican executive/legislative “supermajority” in a state as consequential as Florida, especially when the legislature is enthusiastically supportive of the governor. Oh what could have been accomplished at the highest levels in this country had there not been babyish Republicans in Congress and other uncooperative and obstructive officials.

Trump would have worked with them within reason all day long. But working with Trump was just a non-starter for many of them for no reason at all.

Rant/off. Blew a fuse at the box actually, gotta run by Lowe’s before I can rant again, no worries.

If the blown fuse has impacted your executive functioning I’d advise having someone drive you to Lowe’s.

Good.

Ranked choice voting is about the most anti-democratic shite imaginable.

I'd be excited if I knew what "ranked choice voting" meant.
