Angie Nixon Backed Ending Electoral College, Ranked-Choice Voting After Florida Senate Upset

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 24

Summary

  • Resurfaced March and June clips show Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon saying she would abolish the Electoral College, support ranked-choice voting and allow same-day voter registration.
  • Those remarks surfaced days after Nixon, a state representative and Democratic Socialists of America member, upset former national security official Alexander Vindman for the Democratic nomination.
  • Republicans are using the comments to frame Nixon as weak on election safeguards, while Fox polling cited in the report found 83% of registered voters support photo ID for registration and 77% support it for voting.
  • Nixon has also attacked Florida’s GOP-led election laws and called Gov. Ron DeSantis a "fascist" and "dictator" ahead of her Nov. 3 special-election race against Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.
