Voter Groups Protest Election Bill

April 20th, 2009 by flanews

A bill to reform the state�s election laws is causing outrage among voter�s rights advocates.

The bill does nothing to improve early voting but it does penalize groups that don�t rush to turn in application within two days of a voter registration drive. The bill was introduced late in the legislative process. House Democrat Janet Long said supporters of the bill are trying to sneak the legislation through.

�I encourage everyone to wake up. This is how it starts, in this insidious little tiny way, one step at a time. Shut down the people who don�t agree with you. I won�t have it and this is not what I was elected to do,� said Long.

Governor Charlie Crist said he doesn�t like the legislation, but stopped short of saying he would veto the bill if it reached his desk.
