Professor Froomkin,
I never leave comments, but I wanted to thank you for your blog posts during election season in Miami. They really help cut down the noise and reduce my research time for my ballots. In the primary I didn’t vote completely in line with you but mostly I did and I appreciated the commentary. I’m just a mid-20’s bachelors-educated voter but ever since I was able to vote I have made sure to vote every cycle and try to research everything I can, no matter how time consuming it may be, and this helps loads. Thank you for this, essentially, act of public service.
They do take some work, so I very much appreciate the kind words from you and others both in comments and via email.
It’s notable, also, that blog traffic is up to four to five times normal.
Thank you for this, I discovered this blog back in the Miami-Dade primaries and I really appreciate your input since its difficult for me to gauge each election. I’m 20 years old working towards a bachelors in biology, so keeping up on politics isn’t exactly my forte. I look forward to following your blog and I hope that this election turns out well 🙂
Thank you so much for doing this work. It has been an invaluable resource for me for years, and I really appreciate it.
re: Amendment 3, I want a say in D primary and R primary. Hoping this was that amendment. Thanks for your explanation.
