21. FL vote counting is unreliable.

2018 is an excellent example of that. Never been fixed. The butterfly ballot gave us W. 20 years later the systems are not secure. If it is close, the results will miraculously swing over to the GOP side of the line. The Democratic Party would be insane to rely on Florida. The last thing I want is having to wait on the FL result to know the outcome of the GE. FL is a bonus. Nothing more.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
