The people with the most money should be allowed to control a greater number of votes... no... wait... we already do that.
yeah, and that's worked out fantastically so far..
HA!
And here in Florida it's going to get all
Wisconsin-worse!A massive rewrite of Florida’s elections laws to be debated today in the Florida House of Representatives is drawing harsh criticism from nonpartisan voter groups, grassroots political organizers, election supervisors, and several members of the Florida House Democratic Caucus.
At a press conference held in the Florida Capitol before the House convened, state Representative Jeff Clemens (D-Lake Worth), the Democratic Ranking Member on the House Governmental Operations Subcommittee, warned that the Republican-backed legislation would have the undesirable effect of suppressing the vote.
“This bill makes it harder to register to vote, harder to vote, and harder to have your vote counted. Why would we do any one of those things, much less all three?” said Rep. Clemens.
House Bill 1355 and Senate Bill 2086 would, among other things, impose new restrictions on groups that register voters, shorten the validity of voter signatures on citizen initiatives from four years to two, and require voters to cast provisional ballots if they move to another county. Opponents have said the stricter provision would disproportionately affect college students, military personnel and low-income people, who are more likely to move more frequently.
