Florida Dem's need your help [View all]

Gov. Scott is back to his tricks to suppress votes, in particular, they want to stop Alex Sink from taking the House seat of Bill Young, who passed away. Ken Dentzler, Scott's Secretary of State, issued a directive making it tougher for absentee voters to cast their ballot. Drop off boxes at schools, libraries, post offices, etc...will be banned. Here is a quote from the Tampa area director of elections, notice that 42& of all votes were cast this way:

Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark had a similar reaction. She told The Tampa Bay Times, “I’m very worried about this. I’m just stunned.” Pinellas county “has used dropoff sites since 2008 and used 14 in the 2012 general election,” when 42 percent of the county’s absentee ballot total were left at dropoff sites.

Alex Sink can and should win this election, she has the name and better ideas, but they are determined to stop her. This is just a precurser to the GOP do everything in their power from stopping Charlie Crist from beating Scott in 2014. Please take the time to blow up the email box of Gov. Scott and Ken Dentzler.
