We didnt have her BC so she couldn't vote in 2012
I live in a blue area in Orange county. They have drastically cut down the early voting window here. They have closed half of the polling stations, UCF, a school with 50,000 students had 3 polling locations in 2012. , now we have 1. Florida has done its damndest to stops Dems from voting and its working
