    Florida has been republican for nearly 3 decades. Florida has a very successful mail ballot system. This one example alone flies in the face of the republican bullshit about mail in ballots.

      Florida is the best example of fraudulent voting. They found counties with negative votes.

      It’s not something you want to use as an example.
