Hi! I enjoy your blog. I believe you made a mistake here: "In Florida, despite raising over nine times more than the anti-abortion messaging apparatus, the pro-choice position lost by 15 percentage points." . I looked up this year's Amendment 4 in Florida which was meant to limit the strict abortion law recently enacted in that state. The results were 57.16% for and 42.84% against. The pro-choice position won a majority with a 14.32% margin. The reason the pro-choice position "lost" is because the deck was stacked against it, requiring a 60% vote threshold to pass. https://ballotpedia.org/Florida_Amendment_4,_Right_to_Abortion_Initiative_(2024)
