    The surplus is because of the federal COVID money, which the State didn’t spend to help people.

    The next day:
    3rd resident of The Villages admits to voting twice in the 2020 election

    A third resident of The Villages has admitted to voting twice during the 2020 election, court records show.

    Joan Halstead, 73, entered a pretrial intervention program Wednesday that will allow her to avoid potential prison time if she successfully completes court-ordered requirements such as performing community service and attending a civics class, Local 10 News partner WKMG News 6 in Orlando reports.

    Halstead acknowledged her guilt as part of her agreement with prosecutors.

    I like the guy (not sure if he was from the Villages) who voted absentee for his recently deceased wife. Said that if she was alive, he was certain that she would have voted for trump. Made sense to me. o_O:rolleyes:

    Life would be better here in Florida if we didn't have an illiberal governor who keeps championing unconstitutional laws.

    P.S. The median income in D.C. is almost double that of Florida.

    I've been telling DeSantis to come up with a bill providing for universal school vouchers. Hopefully he'll man up and do it.

    School vouchers are for white people who don’t want their kids mixing with kids who aren’t white, and for POC who don’t want want to mix with the whites.

    The DC area actually is a very nice place to live or visit. Florida has been a great place to live and visit, but it is facing a growing number of really serious issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later.

    Defendants targeted in DeSantis' voter fraud crackdown were told they could vote

    Several people who were arrested last week as part of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ voter fraud crackdown were notified by official government entities they were eligible to vote, according to court documents and interviews.

    The defendants told authorities they had no intention of committing voter fraud, according to affidavits, and in some cases were baffled by their arrests because counties had sent them voter registration cards and approved them to vote.

    The defendants were vilified by the governor during a high profile press conference last week, where DeSantis announced the arrest of 20 people — convicted murderers and sex offenders — who allegedly cast votes in the 2020 election when they weren’t eligible to. The defendants, because of their convictions, weren’t permitted to vote.

    DeSantis highlighted their arrests to show his new $1.1 million election security office, created during the 2022 legislative session, was paying off and rooting out bad actors looking to commit voter fraud. Such fraud has become a top tier issue for Republicans across the country, including DeSantis, who has championed a series of election reform bills, including the creation of a first-of-its kind election investigations unit housed under Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody.

    Unless they live in the Villages, then it's okay.

    The five day response window seems limited. OTOH, the 2.4 response rate completely invalidates the survey results. And there's this . . .

    And they used Survey Monkey? The FL gov doesn't even have access to a decent survey platform like Qualtrix?

    So, entrapment, followed by a spike of the ball by the elf-hater.

    I'm completely unsurprised that college students and faculty wanted no part of telling the government what their political views are.
