2022 Midterm Elections

With early voting starting at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 24 — find a polling place at Orange County Supervisor of Elections — and the Nov. 8 general election approaching fast, we updated the VoxPopuli 2022 Midterm Elections Voting Guide.

 

Below, you’ll find NEW REPORTING on where local candidates, vying for seats in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., stand on major issues — property insurance, education, gun safety, abortion — that will affect us in Winter Garden, Ocoee, Oakland and Windermere.


Meanwhile, the New York Times, Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight, even The War Horse, a nonprofit newsroom that covers the military, have all warned that Republican 2020 election deniers and doubters are on ballots across the country. That is true here in our corner of West Orange County. We included in our reporting whether Republican nominees believe the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen because the consequences of  government in the hands of those who do not accept election outcomes — and have the power to change results — will fundamentally undermine American democracy, perhaps irrevocably. Now it's up to you to vote.
