Mitch Perry Report for 8.31.16 – Moving on to November

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Good morning, everyone. Florida’s primary election is history. So, where to begin? Patrick Murphy will face Marco Rubio in November. Murphy crushed Alan Grayson, 59  to 18 percent, with Pam Keith a close third at 15 percent.

Boy, this race is going to get tawdry. In what has to be considered a mini-upset, St. Petersburg’s Darryl…

Mitch Perry Report for 8.30.16 – Election Day questions

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Primary Election Day is here, finally, for those of us who care. Because that isn’t close to the majority of registered voters in Florida. Going into today, the turnout by percentage via early and absentee voting here in Hillsborough County where I’m located was lower than it turned out to be in 2012, which Congresswoman Kathy Castor says is disappointing.
