Suppressing the Right of Minorities to Vote
How times have not changed! Centuries ago, all efforts were made to prevent certain people from voting, and here we go again! Rick Scott and the Republican dominated Florida legislation have made all efforts to prevent voters from participating in early voting. Not only have they implemented laws to reduce the early voting days from 14 to 8 days, but they have also made sure that the ballot is so long and complex that it has taken thousands of people at least four hours in Miami-Dade and Broward counties to complete the voting process! Worse, Scott refused to add one day more to allow thousands of people an opportunity to early vote due to the massive turnout. Florida is certainly evident that the oppressive system of voter restriction is a reality! The more things change, the more they remain the same! Just venting!
