What about the State Supreme Court numbers? So, the county wide Judge and Controller races are nearly identical. Makes you wonder whether the campaigns and candidates mattered much or was this all about turnout and the millions Dems spent on the abortion narrative at the top of the ticket. Pinella even made it an issue in Norco.

Given their success using abortion as a base motivator for 2 elections, look for 2024 to again be all about abortion.

Yep. You can’t fight stupid.

You do realize Sletvold is a Republican. It would be easy to think otherwise since the majority of the Republican Party leadership turned out to help oust her.

Sletvold may have won, but she will still likely have to answer for her blatant election interference, as her campaign pulled out signs informing the voters of the many reasons to remove her. What’s more, her chief campaign rep admitted it in writing. This should get interesting.

As long as women are programmed into thinking that it is just a bit of potential life and that it is their right to get rid of no matter what developmental stage of the baby, we will continue to have voters vote one way on this subject to the detriment of all other issues in our country. We need to provide more education on the life we carry and offer support services, so women rarely think this is a viable option. How the action to kill one of our own became a "right" is beyond me. I don't believe information shared at abortion centers allows for informed consent as supporters of abortion think it is too traumatic to allow women to view the baby in the womb. My nephew who has Down's Syndrome could have had his life cut off in the womb by his mother and many in our society would support this. Unbelievable and scary for us all. Let the mountains fall down on our heads and may we hide our faces in shame.
