How will the hurricanes change the election? Vast swaths of Appalachia are still recovering from Hurricane Helene. Now, Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall, either near Tampa Bay or closer to Sarasota, and Florida has experienced massive displacement, with nine counties ordering mandatory evacuations. (The Waffle House index roughly tracks with the official orders, providing additional impetus for residents to believe this storm will be severe.)
So how will this already-devastating, about-to-get-worse hurricane season affect the election that's scheduled in less than a month?
