As widely expected, Reggie Fullwood handily won the Special Election in Florida House District 13, beating Republican standard bearer Lawrence Jefferson by almost 1,100 votes. Fullwood’s margin came largely from Election Day GOTV efforts coupled with early voting — ironically, only 13 votes separated the candidates in the Vote by Mail category. Fullwood’s victory was expected by the crowd; […]

America’s undocumented immigrants aren’t political footballs, or soccer balls. But they keep getting thrown out of bounds and kicked to the sidelines.
