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.
