The federal government, including Congress, must investigate and hold hearings regarding the Florida law that eliminated early voting on the Sunday before election day. It is clear that this was an intentional effort to supress the black vote in Florida. Our democracy must not tolerate such crimes of treason.
Why is this important?
We must not tolerate blatant suppression of minority vote by elected politicians. We should petition for the impeachment of Governor Scott as well as the republican legislators who changed the voting law to eliminate early voting on the Sunday before election day, which was the biggest single day for black voter turn out in 2008. Next, we should petition both the US Dept. of Justice to investigate, and the US Congress to hold hearings through their broad subpoena power.
