New energy from activists
Activists like Sampson, a cofounder of the Jacksonville Community Action Committee, organized protests for racial justice this summer with voter registration tables."It can be very backwards politically," she said, sitting on the steps of the county courthouse in downtown Jacksonville."If you drive down the street from here ... you have Hemming Park — that's named after a Confederate. You have Confederate Park, which is named after the Confederacy.
But those margins began to tighten significantly around 2008, a change local Democrats say was helped by the attention the Obama campaign paid to the Jacksonville area. "I don't like the the brand of Republicanism that he's brought about," said Jack Rowan, a recent high school graduate who registered as a Republican because of fiscal policy."I think it's a brand built on division, more than a brand built on unifying people."
"I'm a Republican voter," said John Delaney, who served as Jacksonville's mayor from 1995 to 2003."But I think the country would be healthier and better off with somebody new there."
Jacksonville early voting this Saturday 😉

Unfortunately it won't do much in Floriduh, which is mostly populated by shuffleboarding retirees.
Why no mention of voter disgust over all corruption tied to GOP leaders in stories about plans to sell the JEA utility? Not to mention GOP ineptness at state, local and national level responding to COvid-19. That will factor in the vote. GOP revealed itself.

To EXers: Where were you at the inauguration? Where were you during violations of human rights? Where were you during the Meuller Report?' Where were you during impeachment? Where will you be after the election? We remember...
That thin blue line flag next to the Trump banner says it all. Police want no change to their privileges and a abuses
Probably because many of the people there would have supported Trump have moved south away from Duval crime and terrible schools to St Johns county.
How many listeners and followers in Duval County? Maybe your totally bought in campaign for the DNC is effective there?
Go get him.
It's about time the black, young and college educated professionals voters got off their asses and voted!
