They are going to load the Ian bill up with so much pork that Desantis will look bad going with it or against it. The politicizing of this event began before it even hit, and I don't expect it to end anytime soon.
The Sandy bill was like 50 billion.

Haven't seen mail in yet . I'll probably just do early voting. Not that I have anything against mail in ballots we have it dialed in down here.
Did you happen to see if Misigoy was on the ballot?
Joe Mammy

He was not on my ballot. I had to google all of the judges to see their backgrounds.

DeSantis? If we're talking about a federal bill, how can DeSantis "go against it"? Rubio/Scott, sure.

So Lake County using New system to keep track of mail in votes. It's called ballottrax not sure if other counties are using it. I think there is a link to check if your county uses it.
Inspection of Ballots--Reasonable Access
The significance of BallotTrax for Lake Countians is an increase in voter confidence said Hays. “With BallotTrax, voters can track when their vote-by-mail ballot was mailed out from our office, when it was received by our office and even be alerted to issues such as signature verification or returned undeliverable. They can even sign up to receive notifications and alerts in time frames which are convenient for their life-style,” stated Hays.
The signup process is simple and secure with customizable notifications. The Supervisor of Elections Office encourages voters to take advantage of this resource tool for the peace of mind it offers for the mail-in process.

Here is how you request mail in ballots in Lake. Seems easy peasy. Still think I'm going to do the early voting thing. I'm old fashioned that way. I like going to the polling place.
Hey for you guys that don't want to vote for either of the hypocrites Rubio or Demmings my man Dennis Misigoy is on the ballot.

For me it's simple....as long as I can determine that the individual is relatively on the up and up morals wise, it's not about the person, it's about the ideas and ideals. I vote for those over the person. Biden is the first Dem or Repub I ever voted for in a national election, but it wasn't because of his ideas/ideals. I agreed with a few, but not many. I voted for him because Trump is pretty much a corrupt POS and a shell of a human being IMO. That always comes first to me. I couldn't even get to the politics of it all in the last vote because there was such an obvious difference in the "human being" department.

The reason I won't vote for Demings is quite simple. It's not what she has done or how she voted or how she might vote or do in the future. It's about what she did not do at the time it was happening.
Demings was a good Chief of Police for Orlando. She was a LEO for almost 30 years.
Being a LEO is like being a Vet it's a brotherhood. Where was she for her brothers and sisters when all the defund the police nonsense was being spouted. Not once when it was happening did she stand up and denounce it as any prior LEO should have. Instead she waits until months before her election to voice her support for LEOS. If she had stood up and voiced her support when it was happening Instead of when it was convenient then she would have my support.
I think you will have another chance to vote for another Demings next FL Governor election cycle. I think Jerry Demings will run he is Orange County Mayor and prior to that was Orange County sheriff. He has done a good job at both.

So Dank Brandon says he'll leave marijuana up to the states while working on decrim at the federal level.
I expect the gov who previously stated he does not like the smell of it and notes how everyone wants a license to sell it will be pretty quiet about it until after the election.

DeSantis' hand-picked Surgeon General is back promoting antivax junk science via a flawed study that claims mRNA vaccines increase risk of cardiac death. Twitter flagged his post as misinformation, which made DeSantis' paid Twitter troll sad.
The Commish
Footballguy
I'm not clicking his links to give him the traffic...we know the source, but curious....what are the "non-mRNA vaccines" he's using and how did he get the results to those in order to make the statement "Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks"? Is that statement because he didn't look at "Non-mRNA vaccines"?

Do you trust DeSantis' appointed Fl surgeon general Dr. Ladapo?
The concerns prompted Twitter to take down a tweet from Ladapo as misinformation, as shown in a screenshot shared by Bryan Griffin, Press Secretary for Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“Twitter censored data posted by the Florida State Surgeon General that showed an increase risk of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination,” Griffin said. “This is an unacceptable and Orwellian move for narrative over fact.”

Ben Sasse is getting a warm welcome to the swamp. He's qualified to be a university president, one of the most intellectual politicians, and has not been afraid to criticize Trump. But his views on same-sex marriage are out of touch with students. And the process of selecting a president was not sunshiny.

Passing this along as an informational resource. It's hardly a disinterested source, but I wasn't aware of this amendment at all, and I suspect others may be in the same boat:

I'd vote "no" on this. However, it's complete and total
that the legislature "bundle" anything. Each application for an amendment should be handled independently. If a group/cause wants to bundle several things together in their proposal, that's fine. It's total ********* that the legislature would retroactively "bundle" things together. Not much different than writing into law things that weren't part of an amendment proposal (hello amendment 4 on felony voters!!!).Health Nerd, an Aussie epidemiologist, has an easy to understand look at the data. He's not so much concerned that it hasn't been published or that there are no authors. He concludes that a better title of the press release would've been "COVID-19 VACCINES ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED RISK OF DEATH AND NON-CARDIAC DEATH IN YOUNG PEOPLE". And the DOH press release shows "This effect is even bigger for younger people - for someone aged 18-39, getting a COVID-19 vaccination was associated with a whopping 45% (23-61%) reduction in non-cardiac death! Huge!".Do you trust DeSantis' appointed Fl surgeon general Dr. Ladapo?

AFAIK, Ladapo hasn't stated whether he got any vaccine. Which doesn't help with elevated vaccine hesitancy in black people.

Obviously, you should defer to your doctor over some random schmoe on a message board, but given your age and the issues you've mentioned with your wife's health, I'm surprised he wouldn't have recommended that you both get the updated vaccine immediately.
