If this report is accurate, Florida is starting that under the table, corrupt voter registration foolishness again. According to Greg Palast, progressive author, journalist and former corruption investigator, Florida is refusing some 85,000 new voter registration from overwhelmingly Black voter drives. Check out his report HERE.
Admitedly, there is no surprise here if this is true. However, we the voters and citizens of Florida cannot stand for this again. This is not about parties, candidates, or with which "wing" you tend to fly. This is about literal disregard for the democratic process that we are supposed to follow. If a person meets all of the requirements to vote in this state, there is NO excuse for Florida to deny registration forms. This is inadvertently denying a citizen's right to vote in essence.
If you have registered here in Miami-Dade, it is supposed to take about 3 weeks to receive your new card. Stay on them if you still don't have it! as the deadline for registration is approaching (October 6th). Go HERE for the Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections info.
Those of you around the state who are experiencing issues with obtaining your card and you have already registered, go HERE for the contact info of the Florida Division of Elections. Whether Mr. Palast's allegations are true or not, make sure that you meet the requirements, go through the process, and ensure that your rights are respected.
