When a lawsuit involves connections to multiple states, the court must determine which state's law will govern the case. States follow several different choice of law approaches to make those determinations (some follow more than one!) 1/4

Dems flipped 16 FL House seats and lost 1 – yielding the smallest GOP majority since the GOP won control of the chamber in 1996. This is the most seats any party has flipped in 60+ years.

In the FL Senate, Dems held the seat they flipped in March and flipped an Orlando-area district. 4 GOP incumbents narrowly held on in Miami, Polk, and Pinellas (all under 2-point races).

Update: Brevard was *not* finished counting HD 33, and Dems actually flipped *17* seats, netting 16. A 70-50 chamber and the smallest GOP majority in 30 years. teapawt.net/AnthonyClose/status/21…

Not so fast -- Daniel McDow has taken the lead in Florida State House District 33 in Brevard County against incumbent Monique Miller. This would be seat #50 for Florida House Dems.

Yet another government forced to pay up for punishing Charlie Kirk-related free speech. Today we announce an $80,000 settlement for Palmetto Bay Councilman Steve Cody, whose Council colleagues punished him for a satirical post the day Kirk was killed.

Despite officially recognizing that Cody's post was 1st Amendment-protected, the Village Council stripped him from a committee as punishment for it. Cody sued for just $1, plus reinstatement to the committee — but his colleagues refused. The Village settled for $80,000 instead.

In court, GOP gubernatorial contender James Fishback admits to voting in DC in 2020 - which he denied in an Orlando Sentinel article three months ago. He said he was locked down in DC during COVID and could not get back to Florida in time to vote.
