Gov. Rick Scott: Stop the Voter Purge!
The Issue
If you’re a Florida voter, Governor Rick Scott might be after you.
Election season is heating up, and Governor Scott has decided to make a change that has disenfranchised thousands of eligible Florida voters. Floridians who have been voting for decades are now falsely being told that they are dead, in prison, or not citizens of the United States.
It’s no coincidence that these voters are fraudulently being told they are not eligible only months before elections -- Governor Scott doesn’t want to give them time to go through an appeal process.
Tens of thousands of Floridans have already been affected by this voting purge. And sadly, although unsurprisingly, the Republican Governor’s voter purge is most affecting minorities and Democrats.
The U.S. Department of Justice has already ordered Governor Scott to stop the voter purge - and Republican elections officials across Florida are flat-out refusing to accept these "purge lists."
Now it's time for YOU to take action. Tell Governor Rick Scott and the state’s Division of Elections to stop taking away voting rights!
