Simple summary:
On the ballot are abortion rights and legalizing marijuana, both things that drive more turnout, and more turnout tends to be good for Dems. There’s a path to holding the Senate here.
Nah, that was no accident, the ballots were intentionally bad. I don’t know the situation in Palm Beach, but I do know the situation in Osceola county. I was in middle school and my mom and my grandmother took me with them when they went to vote that election. I looked at both of their ballots and realized they weren’t lined up the same way, the ballots had oval holes and the pegs they were supposed to go over were round - I’m the reason my grandmother’s vote actually counted that year because I caught the problem.

It’s also two historically popular dem issues, that have generally led to democrats winning most of the ballot.
