Review of The Economist Swing-State Reports: Florida
This was, surprisingly, a little more informative than I expected. The narrator talked extensively about demographics (race, geography, population) which was very good. However, the narrator talks really fast and is throwing out statistics faster than I can interpret them (maybe because of the limited time). A pretty good piece for what it is.
