Imo the turnout will be low in most of the state.. my entire Florida ballot had 4 races;local county Council chairman (nonpartisan); local mayor(nonpartisan); Congressional primary(3 little known Democratic candidates who have raised small money); Senate primary(I voted Powell but do have friends who voted Campbell because of the AFL-CIO endorsement).. Expecting Powell to win easily.. All local candidates on my ballot are Republicans, so I voted least toxic\crazy
My locals were two school board and two judges, voted for incumbent over openly-conservative challengers. Sadly, these local nonpartisan races are decided on August primary day with lopsided R turnout guaranteed.
Those school board races statewide need better coverage.. It's my understanding that desantis is bigshotting all over the state, trying to elect MFL types and their book burning friends.. Last cycle, they won a few seats in my county, and immediately went into chaos mode..and you are dead right, many races decided in low turnout August.. That's where a better state Democratic party could do a lot of good
