Meaning there are many Cuban refugees living in Florida who hate the Communist regime and will not support a President who does not continue the sanctions. No political party wants to lose Florida, therefor politicians have a good reason to continue US policy.
Florida's days of being a swing state will likely be over by the next presidential election. Desantis won by tight margins, but he seems to have done a great job attracting exactly the sort of people who'd vote for him to the state and has consistently worked to gerrymander and restrict voting rights for those who'd vote against him.
Crist couldn't even beat Rick Scott for the Senate, and Scott was one of the least popular governors in the country at the time of the election.
Edit: It was actually Bill Nelson who lost to Scott in 2018, my bad. Crist has been hiding out as a US Rep in Saint Pete since losing the governor's race to Scott.
Refused to implement the felon voting rights that voters approved in any manner that might actually by equitable. Proposed an extremely gerrymandered district map that was thrown out by a court, but then worked with the state congress to drag his feet on a replacement to ensure it gets used anyway.
The voting rights of those individuals were restricted, as gp said.
You're rephrasing it to make it sound like its something materially different, yet it's the same thing that goes against the spirit - and likely the letter - of the law.
