A warning for people fleeing blue states



About 1,200 people a day are flooding into the great state of Florida, but the Florida secretary of state warns that if you’re going to join them, don’t bring a blue state’s politics with you.

“You’re moving here for a reason,” Secretary Cord Byrd says in a conversation with "The Rubin Report" host Dave Rubin.

“If you’re leaving a state for economic reasons or political reasons,” he continues, “don’t vote the way you did there.”

Byrd says that “it’s a historic time to be living in Florida.”

Rubin adds that parents in Florida have been lining up to get on school boards and be proactive in their children’s educational environment following several controversies regarding inappropriate books and shows being exposed to their children.

Byrd notes that it’s “been great and it’s empowering parents” as well as giving them encouragement that “they have a voice,” and “they’re being listened to from the governor on down to the local school boards.”

He continues, “Being a citizen requires active engagement. It’s not an activity where you sit back and wait for things to happen. You got to get your hands dirty and get involved and you have that opportunity in Florida.”

Florida has also recently become the 26th state to pass constitutional carry laws, which is attracting even more blue state refugees.

Byrd says these refugees are “voting with their feet,” which is an “encouraging sign.”

As for current Floridians, “People are happy, they’re smiling. The state is growing, and the proof is in the pudding.”

Leftist Stacey Abrams rips Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as 'not defending the right of voters'



It appears that leftist Stacey Abrams is tough to please — even if you're the apparent new darling of the Democrats.

You see, Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defended the results of his state's presidential election in favor of Democrat Joe Biden — and just days ago said he was glad a controversial phone recording between him and President Donald Trump surfaced, as Raffensperger said Trump misrepresented him.

"Brad Raffensperger: he's not some liberal. Like he's no hero of mine," Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen told CNN, according to Reuters. "He is a solid conservative Republican standing up to the president. That's what makes it so significant."

But Abrams — who lost her Georgia gubernatorial bid in 2016 and has been working hard to get out the vote in the state's runoff election Tuesday as the Democrats try to tip the balance of the U.S. Senate — is still no fan of Raffensperger.

What are the details?

"Lionizing Brad Raffensperger's a bit wrong-headed," she told late-night TV host Stephen Colbert on Monday. "This man is not defending the right of voters. He's defending an election that he ran."

Abrams — who was scolded by a Democratic representative earlier this year for actively campaigning to be Biden's vice presidential pick — blasted Raffensperger for his desire to place restrictions on who can vote via absentee ballot in future Georgia elections. She added that he is "not" any sort of "voting rights champion."

"But even a broken clock is right twice a day," Abrams added, "and it's a good thing that he's defending this election ..."

Anything else?

It's worth noting that Raffensperger is investigating Abrams' group — New Georgia Project — for "repeatedly and aggressively" seeking to register "ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters" ahead of Tuesday's runoff.

Raffensperger said early last month that "we've had additional information coming in regarding the tactics from these groups including the New Georgia Project sending five voter registrations to the same dead person, and sending applications to ineligible voters." He also said his family received mailers directed to his deceased son, urging him to register to vote.

Oh, and a federal judge — who happens to be Abrams' sister — last week ordered two Georgia counties to reverse course on removing thousands of individuals from voter rolls ahead of Tuesday's runoff election.
