This has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that Florida is a swing state. This has everything to do with stopping citizens from being able to vote. This has EVERYTHING to do with voter supression. Denying your countrymen their right to a vote, brought to you by the Republican Party.
. . . in this election, Governor Scott wants to play the role of Katherine Harris.
Katherine Harris, of course, was the Florida Secretary of State who helped George W. Bush "win" Florida and the Presidential election of 2000 after Bush v Gore was decided 5-4 by the Supreme Court in the most activist thing any American court had ever done at the time. According to ThinkProgress.org one estimate from 2000 said that 7,000 voters were wrongfully removed from the rolls of eligible voters, 88% of whom were African-American. Al Gore won 92% of the African-American vote in Florida in 2000

The press need to do a better job in exposing Mitts lies...

(3,836 posts)Is MSNBC not considered mainstream enough?
Isn't voter suppression considered a FELONY? I don't get how these guys can commit FELONY after FELONY and get away with it. It is depressing as hell.

jebbie and kathleen started this crap before the 2000 election so they could get dumbya elected. kathleen harris ended up getting screwed by her party. charlie crist actually tried to reverse the purging.
the palm beach post just did an expose on the hackable voting machines and some voter advocate groups (and rep deutch) are fighting this new purge. you may see some action in the college towns but you have to remember that this is a retirement state. older people may vote but they don't necessarily make waves. imo, the best way to get dems back in the florida legislature and turn us blue is to scare the crap out of the old people vis a vis 'entitlements'.
