Issue Position: Making it Easier to Vote

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Elections

In 2018, over 60% of Floridians decided that non-violent ex-felons should have the right to vote. Since then, our Governor and Republicans have done everything they can to stop it including implementing a poll tax through SB7066 which has been ruled unconstitutional by two judges. Voting is a right, not a privilege. It should be treated as such. We need to expand access to vote-by-mail using federal funds supplied by the CAREs Act, automatically enroll people to vote when they receive a driver's license and allow ex-felons who qualify under Amendment 4 to freely cast their ballots.
