I just voted straight blue ticket in downtown Pensacola. No lines, very helpful staff, and easy-to-read ballot. This is a VERY conservative area, often called L.A. (Lower Alabama), so I'm kind of the blue sheep of the family. But there are Dem voters even here, and the local turnout to protests and marches over the past two years has been uplifting. I don't think FL-01 will unseat the barely-human Matt Gaetz (of course, I voted for Jennifer Zimmerman, his opponent), but at least I banked a vote for Gillum and Nelson.

I have a good feeling about this one. Seems as if many got the memo to wear all blue. A lot of minority voters like myself in line this morning. Go Dems!

But your first sentence made my blood pressure spike and I was ready to hunt you down, though, in a state of over 20 million people finding you would have been at best a fantasy. But as things are, I am chilled now.

I would "X" those two fools names (DeSantis and Scott) out, but the scanner may mistake that as a vote for them. So I will do things the old fashioned way, fill out the oval for their opponents.

What part of the Great Sunshine State are you in? I'm a bit east of Pensacola and would really like to see this area turn blue. My son who lived here before me said this area was once a Democratic stronghold, but changed when school desegregation came about.

It has never been progressive democrat, but Leon and Duval counties are pretty much blue (Leon more than Duval). Hooefully the counties nearest them will start to change.
