Florida election to feature key votes on abortion and marijuana rights

Florida's upcoming election will focus on key ballot measures regarding abortion rights and recreational marijuana. This election is seen as a test of the Republican Party's dominance in the state, following significant GOP victories in recent years. Democrats are hopeful that support for these measures will increase voter turnout. They aim to challenge Republican incumbents, including U.S. Senator Rick Scott, who is running for re-election against former Democratic Rep. Debbie Murcarsel-Powell. The abortion amendment seeks to protect rights up to fetal viability, while the marijuana measure aims to legalize recreational use. Both sides are investing heavily in advertising, with Republicans actively campaigning against the amendments.
