Republicans now take a supermajority in both chambers of the Florida state legislature.
Check out the voting map here.
At the time of writing this; DeSantis leads with 59.4% of the vote to 40% for Charlie Crist. 4,608,398 votes to 3,101,317.
Marco Rubio won by slightly less margins.
Lets compare Ron DeSantis in 2018 to 2022.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
You can see that DeSantis received more votes this time around and the Democrat received less, also the margin of victory grew from .4% to NEARLY 20%!

This is in part of DeSantis’s favorable policies among Florida voters, as well as all the new Republicans who have moved to the state.
It seems now that Florida is no longer a Swing State, and should be solid Red for some time.
DeSantis’s margin of victory actually beats Gavin Newsom’s margin of victory (at least at the time of writing this)
If these numbers hold up in California it would show a positive shift in Republican’s favor.
Previous election was 61.9 to 38.1 , now it is 57.9 to 42.1.
However we might see these numbers tighten up as the count comes to an end, but it is still important to take note of the voter shifts.
At a rate of a few % points each election it is possible California can turn Red within our lifetime, and if Florida becomes even more Red it can be a safe haven for more Political refugees.
Ron DeSantis DESTROYED Charlie Crist by almost 20 points..
Florida BANNED Mass mail-in ballots, BANNED ballot harvesting, REQUIRES voter ID, and Gov. DeSantis created an ELECTION POLICE FORCE…
THOUGHTS?
