Florida’s cities and counties are about to lose up to 25% of police funding because of this Amendment. It will be the largest defunding of the police in recent history. They’ll try to cut other services instead (there’s even a state law making it harder to cut police funding!) but there won’t be enough revenue to sustain current police funding levels without major new taxes.

This is what the Amendment 3 fallout looks like.

Essentially, Black and brown people turned out and voted Dem. And while some white conservatives were successfully persuaded to vote Dem, many more still hate the Dems so they stayed home in shame rather than vote Republican.

Looking at the 8 Dem Senate flips (yes, I'm including MS, and excluding AK due to weird county/borough data), there is a clear pattern of higher turnout in Black/Hispanic/Dem counties and lower in white/GOP. Of course, persuasion was also a huge part of these flips.

How are you going to say Angie Nixon wasn’t moderate enough to win when former Republican boring white guy David Jolly lost to the Republican candidate in the same election?? Florida was gonna Florida and vote Republican either way, unfortunately.
