Florida Governor Finally Sets Dates for Special Legislative Elections

On the evening of October 27, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis finally set special election dates for three vacant legislative seats. The special primaries will be January 11 and the special elections will be March 8.

The 2022 session of the legislature runs from January 11 through March 11, so the new legislators will not actually serve in the 2022 session of the legislature.

The three seats had been vacant for 87 days. The Governor acted twelve days after some voters sued him over the delay. See this story. All three seats are strongly Democratic.

  1. No Joe, Democratic, not communist. There’s a difference, maybe you should do some reading.

  2. “Candidate/incumbent replacement lists —

    NOOOO more vacancy special elections.”

    An interesting idea. Maybe any vacancies should be filled with the runner up in the last election. THAT will keep the legislatures on their jobs.

  3. @Walter Ziobro…. In countries that use single transferable, they basically do exactly that. Australia’s senate does a “count back” to find the next person who would have won, as if the person that vacated was never in the election to begin with.

  4. @James Mahoney IV… they don’t know how to educate themselves. They have to be told what to do. If their preferred talking head hasn’t given them a reading assignment they don’t know what to read.

    This is effectively what the school system has created though, no incentive to learn anything other than what is explicitly instructed. You’re not rewarded for it, so why would you; arguably you might be demonized for it. Schools are still in the Industrial Age mindset of follow the leader; no dissenting opinions. Then once people are out of school they latch on to an “ideology” and then take instructions from those relevant talking heads; no dissenting opinions.

  5. Democrats these days are essentially communists. Some make it more obvious than others. Mahoney is a retard.

  6. “Democrats these days are essentially communists. Some make it more obvious than others. Mahoney is a retard.”

    Bingo!

  7. If you say so…. I have a confirmed 157 iq and a 3.7 GPA but sure…. You get that high of an iq by “following the leader” apparently. And I’m a guy but whatever…. Maybe you’re think of the name aydah?

  8. 3.7 GPA is not really that impressive. It’s not something I’d be bragging about.

  9. I agree with the kindergarten theory. Someone would have to be about 4 or 5 years old to have a 157 iq and come off as uninformed as Alden.

  10. It might also explain Alden’s claim to be a boy, while exhibiting a complete lack of male characteristics.
