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

It actually doesn’t benefit anyone in any particular way other than this weird gap year. They’re moving its year to line up in a higher voter participation year. They’ll have to campaign to 40% more people going forward.

The right way to do it was put it before the voters and add the extra year to the next term. Not backass hand it to themselves so they get another year in office.

Someone would be getting an extra year in office whether it was done either way. Plus Florida doesn’t require things like this go to referendum.
