Default The only way Republicans can win


Gerrymandering the system...

Florida, which is expected to be a vital swing state once again in
this year’s presidential election, is enrolling fewer new voters than
it did four years ago, as prominent civic organizations have suspended
their voter registration drives because of what they describe as
onerous restrictions imposed last year by Republican state officials.

The state’s new elections law — which requires groups that register
voters to turn in completed forms within 48 hours or risk fines, among
other things — has led the League of Women Voters, which has been
registering voters in Florida since 1939, to put its efforts on hold
this year. Rock the Vote, a national organization that encourages
young people to vote, began an effort last week to register high
school students around the nation — but not in Florida, where the new
law would put teachers at risk of fines for any errors with the forms.
And on college campuses around the state, the once-ubiquitous folding
tables piled high with voter registration forms are now a rarer sight.


Asshole Republicans doing whatever they can to suppress voting because
they know it's the only way they can win.

Where's the most onerous version? In Floriduh, of course.
