This question has been bouncing around the internet: If Florida can count ballots in a matter of hours, why does it take days for less populous states to do the same? Local election officials in some states were still counting ballots days after Nov. 8. The margins in prominent statewide races were too close to […]
Their platforms were filled with promises for election reform. No more expansive voting by mail. No more early voting. Aggressive overhaul of voter rolls. Eliminate voting machines. But as results from Nov. 8 midterm elections rolled in, it became clear that the ideas pushed by candidates who denied the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election […]
Justice Department election monitors traveled to voting sites in 24 states on Election Day to watch for violations of federal voting laws. Florida did not welcome them. State officials blocked federal lawyers from going inside polling sites in three south Florida counties. Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd, whom Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed, said their […]

Durante una reunión junto con los senadores Marco Rubio y Rick Scott en un impulso final antes de las elecciones en Miami, el expresidente Donald Trump reiteró afirmaciones engañosas sobre los buzones electorales, las boletas electorales por correo y su historial económico. También llamó a la oponente de Rubio, la representante estadounidense Val Demings, demócrata […]
La representante demócrata Val Demings superó en recaudación y gastó más que Marco Rubio, su oponente en la contienda por el Senado de los EE. UU. Aún así, enfrenta una batalla cuesta arriba para destituirlo de un puesto que ocupa desde 2011. Demings, una exjefe de policía elegida para la Cámara de Representantes en 2016, […]
In his third campaign for governor, Charlie Crist campaigned on a promise to unify the people of Florida, calling incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis “divisive” for his stance on abortion and gun regulation.

Además de votar por los candidatos en las elecciones de medio término, los residentes de California también votarán por siete enmiendas constitucionales.
