They have they made it nearly impossible to register voters (there are very strict stipulations on when the forms need to be returned to the SOE or you get a large fine and many groups like the League of Women Voters have pulled out of registering in Florida because of the new laws.) We have new voter ID laws that make it more difficult for young, poor, and minority voters to vote. Now they are purging the voter rolls. Those of us on the ground here are worried. They are doing everything in their power to give Florida to Mitt.
