The area from just north of Boca all the way to the south of Atlanta. That’s the problem voter area. Basically the north and other midwest areas flushed the toilet and that voter base moved to that region. People who have no business voting live in these areas.

The worst areas are around Ocala and parts north. Highly concentrated area of degenerates with high religiosity and self righteous focused lives with little to no education, high belief in supernatural, and takes advice from “specialists” otherwise know as their local chiropractor. Disability capital. Every billboard is about claiming disability, suing a company, or to stop raping your daughter.

I have traveled and lived in these areas and it’s incredibly sad. I can’t believe they vote at all, but they do.

I agree with you 100% that it's a sad thing going through these areas and seeing the state of things. However I do not think that they shouldn't be able to vote, they are citizens of this country just like you an I are. Even though I vehemently disagree with their opinions and choices of representation, I don't see any good coming from restricting a citizen's right to vote. It has a similar energy to when the fascists have been suggesting raising the voting age to 25, and I'm not for any of it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not defending any of their belief systems or culture war bs, but just like you and I have a voice, they should too (unless its hate speech or threats, then foh with that)

I like to think of it this way; I believe in universal suffrage, but I sure wish some wouldn’t exercise it (at least, not the way they do…).
