By these people not voting, we assume that they are OK with how things are going in their state. In which case, they asked for it.
You realise voter suppression is a thing right? It's unfair to say these people asked for it. It's also unfair to everyone stuck there and too poor to leave, or don't want to leave because it's their home.
You know kids are adversely affected by desantis's policy and cannot vote, right? just as a single example.
Theres only ~5 million kids in Florida - that still leaves about 16 million people who are eligible to vote who didn't.
"They said nothing, therefore they asked for it" isn't a great opinion, friend.
