Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn't merely campaigning against a popular abortion-rights amendment set to appear on the November ballot: He is turning the organs of state government against it, making a mockery of the notion, enshrined in law, that there should be a firewall between governing and electoral politics. Florida's tinpot governor, whose political potency has been diminished by electoral loss and recent scandal, has abandoned persuasion in lieu of coercion. Attorney General Ashley Moody unsuccessfully fought to keep the amendment off the ballot entirely. A DeSantis-backed board of bureaucrats successfully dreamed up a bogus disclosure that will be attached to the proposed amendment warning voters that the restoration of abortion rights could somehow "negatively impact the state budget."
Sad that the same people who are so happy to deny these people the right to vote because of convictions for felonies that ithey srved their sentences for but they aren't bothered at all that a man convicted of multiple felonies and is running for President and hopes to use that high office to psrdon himdelf for his crimes if he wins. If he loses he will no longer be eligible to tvote in Florida and will have to serve his sentences. N ot to worry, his Culy of Insanity will try to elect heir favorite convicted felon to protect him from serving the sentences he has earned even as he commits new crimes of election interference by threatening election officials with arrests and prison sentences if he loses this coming election
