about this state

Florida, Florida, Florida...where to begin. When it comes to elections, you've elected some real Florida Men™. We're looking at you, Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio. But you have Disney World, so we'll call it even. Almost. Actually, not really. May the next headline be "Florida Man brings friends and family to polls". Florida will hold various local elections on March 8 and 22. The statewide primary is scheduled for August 23 and statewide general for November 8. (Source: Ballot Ready)
