Florida just set a new record with 5 million registered Democratic voters

[RandySF]

As of Jan. 31, Democrats had 5.04 million registered voters in the state, compared to 4.79 million registered Republicans, according to Florida's Department of State. An additional 3.78 million voters are registered with minor parties or have no party affiliation.

Democrats gained approximately 53,000 new registered voters in the last year, while Republicans gained 33,000 voters.

At a Tuesday press conference, the Florida Democratic Party announced the milestone achievement, alongside representatives from Forward Florida Action, Alianza for Progress, and the New Florida Majority.

Florida "must expand the electorate to make sure that all people — especially young people and people of color and women — have a voice and a vote," Andrea Mercado, executive director of New Florida Majority, said at the press conference. Mercado also criticized Republicans for voter suppression tactics in the state.

7. Yes... it would be so great to win Florida.

Well, it would be beyond great.
And I hope everyone re-enfranchised after a felony conviction really does get a chance to vote. That just gladdened my heart, that so many Floridians voted for that true example of democracy.

8. Florida Supreme Court ruled that felons must pay fines before getting

their "right" to vote. So that's more like a poll tax hurdle for them.

9. I thought that got thrown out in federal court.

So what's the latest on that case?

10. Right you are. Last month 2/19/2020 Federaral Court of Appeals ruled

it unconstitutional. I never saw last the update until you mentioned it. There is justice in the U.S. of A.

Thanks, for enlightenining me on the good news for the Florida folks.

14. In the Gunshine State

We count the votes any way we wish. We are as crooked as Georgia, but we are slicker.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. We sure could have used all of them a year and a half ago.

Governor Andrew Gillum and Senator Bill Nelson thank you in retrospect.
