4. Great momentum by the groups backing the initiative

In two weeks they doubled the number of districts that have passed the 8% goal, now having 8. A ninth district (district 7) is only 332 verified signatures away from reaching the goal for that district and is basically a lock. Six more districts have been targeted by the group are are 5 thousand or less signatures away from the goal for those districts, most are around 3 thousand or less. They also got over 50% of the total verified signatures that they needed as of Dec. 1st.

They have 6 more weeks and three days till the Feb. 1st 2024 deadline. At this point in the process the totals at the Florida Division of Elections website update every Friday rather than once a month. I am interested to see how the next two weeks work out with the holidays, but with this momentum I think they are in a really good place and have more than enough time to reach both goals.
