FloriDUH Governor Makes It Harder for Democrats to Vote
Maybe the worst bill passed by the Florida legislature is now law.
Scott says the law will prevent fraud at the polls, but not one of Florida’s 67 election supervisors asked for this bill to be passed.
In our state’s 2008 election, the elderly, Blacks and young voters voted early and most of them voted for Obama. The Florida’s GOP solution to that “problem” is make it harder to vote.
Early voting has now been cut from 14 to 8 days. The law also says if you are a woman who has gotten married since you last voted, you will not be able to change your voter registration at the polls and you’ll get one of those chancy provisional ballots. If you’ve moved from one county to another, you also won’t be able to re-register at your polling place and will also get a provisional ballot. People who move around a lot, young people in school, the elderly who can’t get out as often - people who vote for Democrats.
This bill isn’t just anti-Democrat, it’s anti-democracy.
