Update: The original version of this post misstated the number of times Democrats have won Floridas electoral votes. Democrats have won the state in three of the last six presidential elections, not four.
In 1960, when Richard Nixon carried Floridas 10 electoral votes, an unknown Republican gubernatorial candidate named George Petersen won just over 40 percent of the vote against Democrat Farris Bryant.
Democrats who controlled the state legislature were worried that holding their gubernatorial elections in presidential years, when more Republican voters showed up at the polls, threatened their solid grip on state politics.
So a group of rural segregationist Democrats called a special statewide election to change the year in which Florida elected its governors. Voters approved the change, shifting gubernatorial elections to midterm years, rather than presidential years.
Fast forward half a century, and the political calculus has changed: Now its Democratic voters who are more likely to turn up in a presidential year. Democrats have won Floridas electoral votes in three of the last six presidential elections, but they find themselves in the midst of an historic gubernatorial losing streak.
Republicans have won five straight elections; Lawton Chiles was the last Democrat to win the governorship, in 1994.
Now, Democrats want to return to the old system. Party strategists are planning to collect signatures for a ballot initiative in 2016 that would shift governors races back to presidential election years.
Our state leaders should be elected by the greatest number of people, Ben Pollara, a Democratic strategist involved in the effort told the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times, which first reported the campaign. How can you argue that having fewer people participate in the political process is good for the state?
Kevin Cate, the longtime Florida Democratic strategist, initially floated the idea of moving the election in an op-ed published a few weeks after Gov. Rick Scott (R) beat his candidate, Charlie Crist (D), in November.
Turnout in midterm elections routinely clocks in more than 10 points lower than presidential elections. Since 1996, presidential election turnout has topped 60 percent every year, while midterm turnout has hovered between 47 percent and 55 percent. Minorities and younger voters, two key pillars of the modern Democratic coalition, are far less likely to show up in midterm years.

WASHINGTON Colorados three Democrats in the U.S. House today asked the administration to spare from deportation a Mexican-born man who has sought sanctuary at the First Unitarian Society of Denver.
Arturo Hernandez Garcia has been living in the U.S. illegally for years, but his family situation, coupled with President Barack Obamas recent executive order on immigration, prompted the lawmakers to seek a stay of removal on his behalf.
The presidents announcement included a number of changes, including the creation of a Deferred Action for Parents (DAP) program to allow parents of U.S. citizens to apply for deferred action, wrote Democratic U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette, Ed Perlmutter and Jared Polis of Colorado.
Given Hernandez Garcia is the parent of a U.S. citizen and it will take some time to promulgate final regulations on who will be eligible for the program and application requirements, we believe a stay of removal is warranted in this case.
The letter was addressed to John Longshore, the field office director for enforcement and removal operations at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Centennial, Colo.
A message left on his voicemail was not immediately returned.
