Tampa Right Wing Attacks

Tampa tea party founder Sharon Calvert and conservative activist Sam Rashid have been relentless in their attacks on the Go Hillsborough transportation initiative, suggesting that rampant cronyism influenced the spending of $1.35 million in public funds. 
-----------
But when county sheriff’s investigators last year asked Calvert and Rashid for evidence of wrong-doing, the critics came up empty. “Investigators asked if they had facts to support their claims and allegations but they had none to provide,” investigators said in records released Monday. here

In Winter Haven You Can Only Vote Republican

They hid the Democratic ballots 
in a closet.
Theresa Wibert of Polk County was shocked to arrive at her polling station only to be handed a Republican ballot – and then told that Democrats couldn’t vote there. “The boss came over and said we could vote for Republicans only,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it. I told them I wasn’t leaving … It sure wasn’t politically correct. We pushed it a little further and the lady called a few people. Finally, she looked in the bottom of a closet and found a box with the Democratic ballots. here

Pat Kemp Talking To Voters In The Heights

Susan Smith Wing Of The Florida Democratic Party

"It's depressing how little the Florida Legislature (controlled by Republicans) cares about issues that impact the lives of working people. They only want to protect the interests of big business while coddling right wing religious nuts."

sanctions for Commissioner Sandy Murman

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and State Attorney Mark Ober found no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing in how county staff, commissioners, and private consultant Beth Leytham acted in the months leading up to the selection of Leytham's client, Parsons Brinckerhoff, for the lucrative "Go Hillsborough" project. But the report corroborates 10Investigates findings that Leytham made a habit of influencing decision-makers behind the scenes. 
And Ober suggested sanctions for Commissioner Sandy Murman - and training for other commissioners - over non-criminal public records violations. here

----------
Not enough old white guys.
The Republican Party has a demographics problem. A recent analysis found that while GOP frontrunner Donald Trump may be energizing a subset of white male voters who normally don’t participate in politics, he is driving away the very groups Republicans need to win the White House this fall: young people, women, naturalized immigrants, Latinos, and blue collar workers. Trump has done so much damage to the GOP’s brand with these groups that he would need to win more than 70 percent of all white men to make up for it,

Latino Activists In Florida Fired Up

The reality is that there are thousands upon thousands of eligible voters that are going to register to vote in this election in record numbers, and the irony is that that record registration is actually coming from the direct threat and attack from candidates who continue to speak negatively and deplorably of the immigrants in this country,” said Jose Luis Marantes, an activist with the Florida Immigrant Coalition, speaking at a rally in Ybor City on Wednesday. “They think that by saying those words, by threatening us with walls, by threatening us with deportation, that they will make us hide, and cower, and go home. The reality is they’re emboldening us, angering us, and preparing us to get ready to vote and to show in 2016. here
