FL Early Voting

A Federal court just ruled that Florida's Republican Governor Rick Scott's new restrictions on early voting, which target minority groups more likely to cast a ballot before election day, are unfair and illegal. According to the judges, the Republican law runs afoul of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

For political activists, this is an important victory, but we cannot let up. The ruling applies only to five Florida counties, and it is still possible that Republicans will be able to shut the door on voters in the state's other 62 counties.

We kept up the pressure against Florida vote suppression, and our efforts paid off.

Now we need to ensure that every voter in every Florida county or in another battleground state can vote in this year's election.
