12. I hope it is starting to become apparent how bad it is in Florida now.

May 2012

We have:

Voter ID laws that make it more difficult to vote for students, minorities, and the poor. (Plus anyone who has recently moved which is a lot of people in our transient state with this economy where lots of people have lost their homes.)

They reduced the amount of time to early vote including getting rid of the Sunday before the election where many African Americans voted after church.

New laws about registering voters which include huge fines. This has forced groups like the League of Women Voters to stop registering voters in Florida.

Now we have a voter roll purge.

This needs to be in the national news more because all of these things add up to the GOP trying to steal the election.
