The 2004 presidential election. Florida was supposed to be at least purple after Bush won it in 2000 by only 537 votes - of course not factoring in the Palm Beach county butterfly ballot and Roger Stone's rat faqing chad antics. However, Bush won Florida in 2004 by 5%. This was right after 4 hurricanes hit the state. Religious folks I know told me "God sent the hurricanes so that Bush could win re-election."

Charlie Crist lost the governor's race on Oct 19, 2022, the day the Sanibel Causeway re-opened - thus saith The Lord!
