このコンテンツについて

In this episode of Pulse and Politics, host Alana Sanders breaks down the City of Miami’s controversial decision to cancel its November 2025 municipal elections and move them to 2026. Supporters of the decision argue that aligning elections with state and federal races could increase voter turnout and save the city a significant amount of money. They claim this change could reduce the costs of administering a stand-alone election and improve efficiency.

However, critics—including Florida’s Attorney General—say this is a serious overreach of power. They argue that the City Charter and Florida law require voter approval for any change in election timing or extension of elected terms. Without a referendum, many believe this ordinance violates democratic principles and could face legal challenges.

Alana breaks down the legal arguments, the political motives, and what this decision could mean for cities across the country. Is this a practical financial move or a dangerous disruption of democracy? Tune in to find out.
