Miami just pushed back its 2025 elections to 2026 instead

So their right-wing mayor gets to serve an extra year 🙁

Watch other Republicans try to delay elections, too

Wow, even Florida’s batshit crazy Republican AG questioned the move and suspects it of being unconstitutional.

The reason for this is because Mayor Suarez is HOT AS FUCK.

Wow, Governor DeSantis was right for once in opposing this.

[QUOTE] Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Gov. Ron DeSantis argued the city lacks authority to change the election date without voter approval, as the city charter requires odd-year elections and voter consent for amendments, the Miami Herald noted.

Although I disagree with the method in which this was done, the logic is sound; having elections in off-numbered years is an unnecessary expense. It not like heavily Cuban Miami would replace Suarez with a Democrat especially in an off year election. If anything, Democrats chances improve by having the mayoral election align with the midterms.

I mean, LA did this just a few years ago also. That’s why Garcetti was mayor for 9 years. Though, it was passed by the voters.

R7, yeah, that's the difference, voters approved it
