The choice of some to reject judges appointed by GOP governor Crist does not explain why Cohen got so many fewer votes. As VA mentions there were others appointed by Crist and they did NOT get fewer votes than those of the more recent governors.

Try again to explain Cohen's lack of support. It amazes me that there is resistance to accepting that many of your peers are anti-Semitic. Many polls have shown that voters would not vote for a Jewish candidate for POTUS. In 2019 Gallup gave a figure of 7% who admitted it to a pollster. Of course in private the number is likely to be higher as people are hesitant to admit their bigotry to a pollster.

So far none of you has a reason for Cohen's lower numbers. I suppose you think anti-Semitism does not exist. I have no idea whether Judge Cohen is Jewish or not.
