Straight reporting can be difficult.
And I doubt we're seeing it in your source.
What do you think, The Hill got it wrong? Where's the actual survey? The one mentioned in your source is a recommendation from that source and whatever will ultimately be used isn't defined in the bill. And where will the data go and who will analyze it? Will it, for example, go to some guy's house in Montana where the fraudit audit data from Arizona is being "analyzed?" I can't believe this won't be successfully challenged in court...

I seriously doubt Ron DeSantis and the rest of the Florida Republicans who passed this bill awoke one morning with a Libertarian ideology for their intentions on what this bill can and will do. The Reason article makes reference to its concerns about the video recordings provision of the bill. Anybody who cares about civil liberties should feel the same way. The provision of the bill that enables the state to pull funding from an educational institution to force compliance is equally alarming. I'm wondering what happens if individual students refuse to comply, will they lose their student loans and/or scholarships/grants?

So, Mel you don't think the stats are accurate on Republicans versus Democrats at the positions described?

Oh, and unlike you and Greg I don't march in goose step with a particular party. For example, I voted for a Republican governor in the last election.

Well, as usual, you would be wrong, again! Lol!
And if you don't vote Republican, it's a safe bet whoever you vote for likely thinks and governs the same way...
