So, over the past several weeks, I’ve offered a breakdown of every state House, state Senate, and U.S. House race in Florida. It was a painstaking task. The main reason I did all of that was to simply make all of our readers aware of who’s running in every district and what the odds were [...]

This past Friday, the Florida Supreme Court got its first taste of what will be the fight of the next election – redistricting.

You already know this: while earning your college degree was informative and pleasant enough, plenty of us head in a different direction.
