    I keep watching for one of my local electors to be that person. I keep getting party puppets. Like the worst of the worst. I had Rick Scott and Anna Paulina Luna. The no soul types. My district (a peninsula) was divideded by chopping the black neighborhoods off the tip to connect with the immigrant neighborhoods on the other side of the bay. So competition was eliminated where it used to be a heavily divided poll. Florida and my county/district used to be close to 50/50 split on every elector and issue. The results would be nearly unpredictable. Anything that went over 60% in favor was rare. Since redistricting was pushed, competition was eliminated. Harmful legislation still has a hard time passing, but the state elected officials do what they want anyways.
