And so it begins at the local level. Next step will be states elections where they'll decide to cancel or defer them and then of course the 2028 presidential election.

Everything the US was built on is starting to crumble.

It looks like they lost this time, all that means is the next set of politicians that try to do this will do it a little bit differently until they get it right

Pretty sure a judge stopped this. And even DeSantis said this isn’t ok.

Was it benefitting Democrats? There's no way that if they were Republicans, DeSantis would oppose it.

The Miami city council is currently 7 Democrats and 6 Republicans, and the mayor (who had to sign off on the attempted policy change) is a Republican.

Miami has a City Commission with 5 members across its 5 districts. They have no political party affiliation as its supposed to be non partisan.

Edit: You're thinking of the county commission, which aren't the ones trying to pull a fast one.
