Fight the new state voter suppression laws

Created by J.C. on September 22, 2011

One of the most basic rights that we as citizens are supposed to enjoy is the right to vote.
Several states which have a GOP majority have changed the laws to make it harder, and in some cases, impossible to vote.
For example, The League of Women Voters has decided not to register new voters in the State of Florida due to the new very restrictive voter registration laws.
Florida has also dramatically reduced the number of early voting days, has stated that once a felon has served their time they will have to wait 5 YEARS before they can vote!
Some states have required a picture ID and restricts the type of picture ID's they will except. Many poor people and students (who typically vote against the Republican party) will not have the required ID's which will be excepted.
