Stop The Attack On Florida Voters

Republican leaders in the Florida Legislature have launched an unprecedented attack on the voting rights of Floridians. Per our friends at Progress Florida, CS/HB 1355 does the following:

  • Reducing early voting from 13 days to just 5, ensuring massively long wait times to cast a vote in Florida’s more urban and populous counties;
  • Encouraging voter suppression by forcing many voters to vote by provisional ballots which often are not counted;
  • Disenfranchising voters by removing the longstanding rule allowing them to update address and name changes at the polling place;
  • Discouraging voter registration drives by creating cumbersome new regulations for groups that register new voters;
  • Undermining successful election protection efforts by severely restricting non-partisan programs from providing legal assistance and other services to voters at the polls; and
  • Making grassroots ballot initiative campaigns virtually impossible for anyone but wealthy special interests.

Help us stop this unacceptable voter suppression bill and sign this letter to the Florida Senate.
