A majority of voters supported a ballot measure that would have expanded abortion access in the state, but it needed 60% to pass.

    57+% in favor of overturning it and it stays. Tyrant of the minority.

      needed 60% to pass what BS.

      Good news is I bet that 3% won’t exist in the next vote.

        Problem is people keep moving there even when some die. Florida is a lost cause, we need to build a wall and just let it fall into the ocean.

          Can we call the wall “America’s cock ring”….

          And make them pay for it?

          It needs a back flow valve so the sewage doesn’t come back up.

          That’s a good point. Wouldn’t even bother with a wall. Aqua man needs to commute too.

      And yet, 56% voted to put Trump back in the white house. The guy who made such restrictive abortion laws possible in the first place. I just don’t understand people.
