An onstage conversation on borders and divides with Matt McCaw, spokesperson for the Greater Idaho movement; Alexander Baretich, designer of the Cascadian flag; and Carina Miller, chair of the Columbia River Gorge Commission.

Why are our borders in the places they are, and when should they be redrawn? When are borders useful, and when are they symbolic? Should borders be based on geography, history, culture, or some other criteria?

In 2022, before he began a campaign for the presidency, Ron DeSantis was reelected governor of Florida in a landslide. This was impressive and surprising because the 2022 elections were disappointing for Republicans almost everywhere else in the US. But DeSantis’s overwhelming victory was doubly impressive and surprising because when he had first been elected, just four years earlier, it was by just a tiny margin.

For a long time, in fact, tiny election margins were the norm in Florida elections. Florida was a “swing state” — it sometimes voted for Democrats, sometimes for Republicans, and was a major prize up for grabs in presidential elections. But by 2022, something had changed: Florida Republicans up and down the ballot won their races by margins similar to DeSantis’s, and no one was calling Florida a swing state anymore.

Florida seems to have undergone a political transformation. So what happened? In this video, we look at three possible explanations.

Read “The United States of Florida,” a contributor-supported project from Vox: https://ift.tt/R2p8Jyv

We looked at …. a lot of data for this video. Here are the main sources we used:

County-by-county results in Florida elections from 2016-2022 came from the Florida Department of State’s Election Reporting System: https://ift.tt/kFuHjZ9

The screenshotted US Census page showing that Miami-Dade is mostly Latino can be found here, under the “data tables” tab: https://ift.tt/tEpHReh

Our map showing the “specific origin” of various states’ Latino populations was inspired by the University of Washington’s Great Migrations Project: https://ift.tt/9UzaK02

The data we used for that map came from the US Census via this very helpful tool: https://ift.tt/pVg6XKk

The chart about Spanish-language ad spending in the 2022 Florida governor’s race came from a post-mortem of the 2022 election by the research firm Equis. You can find it on page 59: https://ift.tt/Ng7ipqc

And now for the big red bars. The Florida state party expenditures came from Transparency USA, an organization that tracks state-level campaign finance data. That data for Florida Republicans is here: https://ift.tt/z4QVtgW
And Democratic state party expenditures are here: https://ift.tt/8f42NG3

The data on the best-funded state parties is from OpenSecrets, another org that tracks campaign finance data: https://ift.tt/rXV6caO

The chart at the end, which compiles spending from the national Democratic Party, was also based on information from OpenSecrets: https://ift.tt/6QbjeXa

And the data on how much the state parties raised came from Florida Department of State’s campaign finance database: https://ift.tt/HsfkKiZ

The line chart that shows total voter registrations for each party is based on data that Florida’s Division of Elections makes public: https://ift.tt/2AUGdIK

Finally, the data around voters who moved to a new state and new Florida registrations from 2020-2023 came from the data vendor L2: https://ift.tt/vds8Wuw

Troye Sivan and Janet Jackson collaborate in my mashup titled ‘Rush With U’. It features Troye Sivan’s hit single ‘Rush’ and Janet Jackson’s single ‘Rock With U’. I saw a snippet of a Troye Sivan interview and he was asked who his dream collaboration would be on ‘Rush’ and he responded “Janet Jackson”. I knew exactly what I needed to do at the moment since both of them are my faves! I felt these songs worked very well together lyrically and visually. Janet made this song for her LGBT fans and Troye is giving us everything we need right now. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Lyrics:
Hands in your pocket
Cool guy
Afraid of the conversation
Cannot disguise once we are locked in
These eyes
We play with the expectations

The water
Pulls us in like lovers
We could touch forever
Even though there’s danger
We feelin so safe here
Wishin we were naked
So close we can taste it

Come papi play with me
Come papi play for me
I can show you the masterpiece
Show you my masterpiece
They say it’s heavenly
No need to ever leave this love

I done sweeped through the high hoes
You can miss me with the rollers
I need somethin different
To keep my attention
No more mystery I’m knowin
I need bed kisses and night moanin
Can you keep it fun for me
How you hold it down for me

The water
Rushes in like colour
Close in on each other
Even though there’s danger
We give in so gently
Free up in this party
Don’t know how we got here
But we keep on all night long

Come papi play with me
Come papi play for me
I can show you the masterpiece
Show you my masterpiece
They say it’s heavenly
No need to ever leave this love
Come papi play with me
Come papi play for me
I can show you my masterpiece
Show me your masterpiece
They say it’s heavenly
No need to ever leave this love

Must be the waves yeh
Must be the way you look on me
No contemplating
You got me feelin heavenly
No keep me waiting
This ain’t no game to play it mean
Hands on your waist
Love how we play it naturally
Must be the wavin
No patience
Our innocence is playing
With fire
Go higher
No room for hesitation
We blazin
Keep blazin
Our innocence is playing
With fire
This higher love
