Send an email to our state legislators to oppose SB 7050 & HB 7067
Yet again the people of Florida are confronted with the reality that our state government has waged an unrelenting assault on our voting rights. SB 7050 & HB 7067 will further complicate our elections process, give expanded powers to the elections police, and make it harder for nonprofit organizations to provide voter assistance. For three consecutive legislative sessions, Tallahassee politicians have injected intimidation and chaos around our election process – enough is enough! Please oppose SB 7050 & HB 7067 and do more to expand access to voting, not curtail it.
